Abstract

As technology evolves and electronic systems become increasingly more complex it is important to attract students for technical studies. Our group has developed a multifunctional prototype in order to overcome the initial reservation towards high-end digital logic. This prototype gives young students possessing over only a small technological background an attractive introduction into this field. Besides this school event type of utilization of this prototype, it is also designed to be the basis of a variety of project based learning in the academic context.
