Engineering, education, and open source

Two ways GHI Electronics gives back: helping the next generation of engineers learn to build, and supporting the open-source community that has shaped our industry.

Education

BrainPad — STEM in the classroom

BrainPad is our STEM/STEAM learning platform — an intuitive entry into coding, electronics, and robotics for students of all ages. It's been brought into classrooms, after-school programs, summer camps, libraries, and museum events across the United States and internationally.

Where BrainPad has been​

We've partnered with companies, schools, nonprofits, and governments who are using BrainPad to introduce coding and electronics to the next generation of engineers.

Industry partners

Microsoft — coding sessions and facility events with students.

Intel — featured BrainPad at their Summer STEM Camp with student projects.

Government & civic partners

State of Michigan — student interviews at the Capitol showcasing tech projects.

UAE Government (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah) — STEM and AI education programs with Dubai Culture, Dubai Public Library, and others.

Schools & universities

Notre Dame Preparatory School & Marist Academy — BrainPad in the STEM curriculum.

Beverly Hills Academy — After School Coding Nights.

Ballarpur Institute of Technology (India) — AICTE-approved technical school using BrainPad.

Non-profits

Girls Who Code — BrainPad supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in tech.

CODE313 — STEM.org-accredited training program using BrainPad.

SquareOne Education Network — developing technical workforce through hands-on learning.

Community & events

Detroit Pistons — annual STEAM Slam, a hands-on learning event using BrainPad.

International

Everbest Media (Malaysia) — bringing BrainPad-based learning into regional education.

Open source

Engineering and manufacturing for the open-source community

Open-source hardware and software have shaped how embedded development works. Over the years we've partnered with many open-source projects — including a long-running collaboration with BeagleBoard.org, whose boards we helped design and manufacture for several years. Supporting open source has been part of how we operate.

Field Day — bring your students​

If you teach STEM or run a youth program in the Detroit metro area, we'd be glad to host you. A typical Field Day at GHI Electronics walks students through robotics, game development, and circuit design — with the same engineers who design and build the products explaining how it actually works.
