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.
