Altium Launches STEM Distance Learning
Initiative for High School Educators and Students
Altium LLC, a leading PCB design and realization software
company, believes that students should have access to professional
tools today to prepare them for innovative careers in the future.
In support of this mission, Altium has developed the Upverter
Education distance learning program based on Upverter, a free,
web-based printed circuit board (PCB) design tool that is easy to
learn and use.

The collaborative and remote learning features of Upverter fit
perfectly with the needs of STEM educators for guiding students
through the electronics design process and their exploration of
technology and engineering.
“It is truly a joy to provide our tools freely to students and
to help prepare educators for the challenges they face with
distance learning this year,” Dr. W. Gordon Kruberg, Head of
Modular Hardware, at Altium, shares. “We look forward to seeing how
Upverter can lift the level of understanding of students nationally
and abroad. We are participating because we believe this rising
tide will lift all boats.”
In addition to empowering educators and students all across the
globe, Upverter will also be supporting the international FIRST
Robotics competition launching this November. Several high school
robotics teams are already using Upverter.
"Our students are super excited about robotics but are also new
to the printed circuit board design and electronics learning.
Having online access to the Upverter design tool and the learning
resources will propel our learning curve, whether in class, or
learning from home," reports Ryan Griggs, Lead Mentor, WAR Lords
and WOW, Francis Parker School, San Diego, California.
The Upverter Education Program is a free resource and
features:
- Upverter, an easy to use, web-based tool for editing schematic
diagrams and PCB layouts
- Electrical engineering courses for students of all skill
levels, including those with no prior exposure to circuit board
design
- A library of completed designs for inspiration and
teaching
- Responsive support from Upverter Forums for technical
questions
- An Upverter YouTube channel with detailed navigation
