El curso apunta a estudiante de último año de educación escolar y primer año de educación universitaria, o cualquier otro alumno con suficiente motivación como para llevar a cabo sus propios experimentos y seguir aprendiendo en el futuro.
Si bien no es un requisito esencial, los alumnos que tengan nociones de cálculo diferencial e integral podrán entender mejor algunos tópicos específicos, que no son estrictamente necesarios para concluir el curso.
El curso incluye demostraciones de dispositivos electromecánicos sencillos controlados mediante un Arduino. Cada circuito demostrativo lleva asociado un diagrama de conexiones y un programa, ambos debidamente explicados, para facilitar que sean replicados por los alumnos empleando la plataforma Arduino.

Plastic electronics (Coursera)

Plastic electronics is a concept that emerged forty years ago, with the discovery of electrically conductive polymers. Ten years later, the first electronic devices using organic solids in place of the ubiquitous inorganic semiconductors were realised. The best achievement of plastic electronics is constituted by Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) that equip the display of many smartphones, and even TV sets.
