Welcome to the GearsNGenes Online Courses Page!
Each course’s goal is to provide detailed instruction and inspiration to help students of all backgrounds learn their associated subjects from the ground up. We implore that students follow along with our hands-on demonstrations. Each course comes with its own unique kits and materials that you can purchase from the GearsNGenes online shop.
In addition to hands-on experimentation, we seek to show the interconnected nature of the topics students learn and how to look at the bigger picture of these courses.

Transistors are the building blocks of a multitude of circuits. They serve to amplify current or act as automatic switches. But did you know you could use them to make decisions or store information, too?! Look at this course to learn about how to use transistors to make logic gates and from there, basic computers!
Machine Learning is the field that studies how to get programs to learn and improve their abilities to make their own decisions.
In a field that is often mythicized for its potential in Sci-Fi, how does one get started? Look at this course to learn how basic probability and other kinds of math can be used in Python coding to create adaptable learning models. These models will be the basis for many other topics, like computer vision, deep learning, or natural language processing!
Do you want to dip your toes into the world of robotics? Then this is the course for you!
In this course, we go through a series of experiments with our standard robot chassis. With each experiment, we get it to perform increasingly complex tasks. First we start with programing our robot to move in a simple cycle of steps. From there, we add on sensors for the robot to engage with the world. These sensors include light sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and even Bluetooth communication!
