Embedded Files
START A BIT is primarily led by a professional embedded software engineer with nearly two decades of industry experience, working closely with a small circle of dedicated educators and engineers. Together, we guide young learners to explore technology through hands-on projects with microcontrollers, sensors, and simple robotics.
Founded in 2023 in Gothenburg, START A BIT is evolving into a structured program focused on small-group, high-quality learning and long-term skill development.
Why “START A BIT”?
Why “START A BIT”?
The name START A BIT reflects both a mindset and a learning philosophy.
It encourages young learners to start early — taking small, meaningful steps to explore how technology works and to build real understanding over time.
At the same time, it reflects an important idea in computing: a bit is the most basic unit of information. Every complex system begins from simple building blocks.
We believe that learning should follow the same principle — starting small, building step by step, and growing into deeper knowledge and confidence.
It’s a simple idea: start a bit today, and grow into something much bigger tomorrow.
Our Approach to Learning
Our Approach to Learning
At START A BIT, we believe that real understanding comes from doing, not just watching or memorizing.
Our learning approach is based on hands-on experience, where students actively build and experiment with real systems using microcontrollers, sensors, and programmable components.
We focus on developing logical thinking, problem-solving, and system understanding — helping students see how software interacts with the physical world.
Rather than rushing into advanced topics, we guide students step by step, building solid foundations that can support future learning in areas such as robotics, embedded systems, and intelligent technologies.
Small group sizes allow us to give individual attention, adapt to each student’s pace, and create a focused and supportive learning environment.
About the Instructor
About the Instructor
Thomas is the founder and main instructor of START A BIT, supported by a small circle of dedicated educators and engineers. Together, they guide young learners in hands-on projects exploring technology beyond standard school courses.
Thomas is a husband, father, and proud dog owner of two Italian greyhounds. He enjoys hands-on projects in computing, networking, and home DIY, as well as mentoring young learners.
He holds a Master’s in Control Theory and Engineering and a Bachelor’s in Telecommunication Engineering. Since 2008, Thomas has built extensive experience in embedded software development across telecommunications and automotive industries, taking on both technical and leadership roles. He has lived and worked in Sweden since 2014.
