While the course offers a hands-on approach to electronics and programming for kids, it may lack depth in covering complex concepts that older students require for a more advanced understanding. The age range of 8-18 could lead to a disparity in learning levels, potentially leaving older participants unchallenged. Additionally, the focus on a certificate might encourage completion over genuine learning, which could undermine the development of critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
