ELECTRONICS

Skill Tree: Color in the boxes and level up your skills

Use for individuals or as a group by picking a colour each and coloring in a part of the box. Everyone’s journey is different and you can interpret the goals flexibly. The aim is to inspire you to learn and try new things. Not everything needs to be completed.
