# 4. Electronics Production - working - add own board info
# 4. Electronics Production - DONE (to be marked)
This week we were tasked with making and testing a Microcontroller Development board. In the new Fab Academy 2024 schedule, this is the first (of many) weeks dealing with electronics. This week's assignment is all about the physical construction of electronics boards, meaning cutting out traces on a [Copper Clad Board](https://www.fortex.co.uk/product/fr4-uncoated-single-sided-copper-clad-pcb-laminate/) and attaching electronic [SMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology) components. It doesn't deal with the aspect of designing a board or programming a [SOC (system on a chip)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip). Those will come in later assignments.
