W.A.T.T.: World Association of Technology Teachers

Printed circuit boards are an essential part of most modern electronic devices and contain copper tracks embedded in glass reinforced plastic to connect electronic components. Designing circuits with specialist electronics software before building prototypes has advantages like testing circuits virtually without wasting components and easily converting designs to printed circuit boards.
