On: How we learned about electronics pre-Arduino days

[shasheene]

In Australia, a popular introductory kit was "Fun Way Into Electronics" (http://goughlui.com/2014/11/09/tech-flashback-dick-smiths-fu...) by the Radio Shack-like electronics retailer Dick Smith.

Unfortunately I personally went through highschool from mid-2000s, apparently a bit too late for a strong electronics curriculum (beyond learning basic soldering and building a small project in the electronics part of the 'tech' subject, with woodwork and metalwork being the other units)

cool, I never saw the fun way books. but I remember buying the kits with pocket money I saved up. I still have one I built in a box somewhere..
