About this course
This course teaches electricity and electronics to children from five to eight years old in a fun way, and it is taught in Arabic. It starts with an introduction to the course, then answers the question of what electricity is, and shows the sources of energy and the journey of the electric current. After that the child gets to know the parts of a simple electric circuit: the battery, the electric switches, the bulbs, the wires and the resistors. Then the course moves on to the electronic senses, which are sensors: the electronic eye for light sensors, the electronic ear for sound sensors, the electronic skin for heat sensors and the electronic nose for gas sensors. In the end the child learns the magic commands, which means programming, gets to know robots and carries out a complete hands-on project. This course suits curious children who love experiments, and parents who are looking for a fun way to teach science. The child needs no previous experience. After the course the child can build a simple electric circuit, understand how sensors work and carry out a small electronics project.
Expected outcomes
- A clear and simple understanding of electricity and energy sources.
- Knowledge of electrical circuit components like batteries, bulbs, resistors, and wires.
- Familiarity with electronic sensors and their practical applications.
- Designing a simple and practical electronic project.
- Understanding the basics of robot programming in an easy and fun way.

1Electricity and Electronics for Kids
17 lectures
- Course IntroductionTells the history of electricity: it exists in nature like lightning and was not invented by anyone, Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb, and the importance of electricity in daily life.5:26
- What is Electricity?Defines electricity as the movement of electrons inside wires, and explains the electric circuit as a path electrons travel to power devices, where a broken wire stops the device.5:37
- Energy SourcesExplains building a simple electric circuit from a battery, wires, a bulb and a switch, how the switch opens and closes the circuit, and how more than one device, like a fan, can be added to the same circuit.8:14
- The Journey of Electric CurrentExplains the journey of electric current from the battery through the wires and switch to the device, the role of voltage difference in pushing current, and the difference between direct current DC and alternating current AC.9:01
- The BatteryExplains how a battery works through a chemical reaction that moves electrons, its components of positive electrode, negative electrode and chemical solution, its types such as rechargeable and solar, and tips for using it safely.9:11
- Electric SwitchesExplains what an electrical switch is and how it opens and closes a circuit, its types such as on/off, changeover and dimmer switches, and the difference between electrical and electronic switches.8:12
- Electric BulbsExplains how a light bulb turns electrical energy into light, and compares incandescent, fluorescent, LED and halogen bulbs in efficiency, lifespan and everyday uses.7:21
- Electric WiresExplains the role of wires in carrying electricity between circuit components, solid and stranded wire types, and how to choose a wire by material, thickness and insulation.8:56
- ResistorsExplains the electrical resistor and its role in controlling current and protecting components, its unit the ohm, types such as thermal and light-dependent resistors, with a simple circuit experiment.8:41
- Electronic Senses (Sensors)Explains sensors as the senses of devices, how they measure light, sound, heat, motion and touch and turn them into electrical signals, with examples in robots, cars and games.7:24
- Electronic Eye (Light Sensors)Explains the light sensor as an electronic eye that converts light intensity into an electrical signal, its types such as photoresistors and infrared sensors, and uses in cameras, phones and robots.7:53
- Electronic Ear (Sound Sensors)Explains the sound sensor or microphone as an electronic ear that turns sound waves into electrical current, its types, and uses in phones, voice assistants and security systems.7:16
- Electronic Skin (Temperature Sensors)Explains the temperature sensor as electronic skin whose resistance changes with temperature, its types including infrared and digital sensors, and uses in devices, fire alarms and medicine.8:11
- Electronic Nose (Gas Sensors)Explains gas sensors as an electronic nose that detects gases and triggers alarms, types such as combustible gas, carbon monoxide and oxygen sensors, and uses in safety and air-quality monitoring.8:32
- Magic Commands (Programming)Explains programming as writing clear commands for a computer, its benefits in game design and problem solving, its kinds, and languages such as Scratch and Python.8:18
- RobotsExplains what a robot is and how it works with commands and sensors, its benefits in dangerous places, exploration and education, its types, and ways to control it manually, by programming or automatically.8:09
- Comprehensive Practical ProjectA hands-on project building a circuit with a light sensor, LED, resistor and battery so the lamp lights in the dark and turns off in light, with wiring steps and how the circuit works.5:47
