- mikepurvis 3y agoIt definitely has classroom energy, but for that to work out it would need to come with a whole curriculum, textbook, etc. And even then, I think a lot of parents would be asking why this oddball thing vs playing with regular 555 and opamp circuits on a breadboard.

But maybe I'm running from different demographic intuitions. I'm not sure how many parents would know the "proper" process.
- mikepurvis 3y agoOkay, fair enough. But I know whenever schools try to adopt, say Linux or OpenOffice instead of the "industry standard" choices, there always seems to be wringing of hands about whether the children are being properly prepared for their futures.
- squokko 3y agoLOL! Maybe in Santa Clara
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoI just completed "instrumentation lab", a college physics class, where we built amplifier circuits (presumably for use with sensors in experiments, although we just used a signal generator). Seems like this would fit right in since the other portion of the class was oscilloscope training.
- martyvis 3y agoDefinitely useful once calculus is looked at. I attended a"mathematics summer school"back in 1979 at the local atomic research facility. (I was at the end of year 10). It had an overall theme that looked at global oil production and consumption, modelled using exponential functions, integrals and the like. While it was focussed on FORTRAN and BASIC, they also had a massive analog computer (hooked up to an oscilloscope) which seemed to give more real-time insight as you tweaked those coefficients.
