What is
Byte Akademi?
A free engineering notebook. We measure first, then write: electrical energy, hardware, AI, mobile and security — plus interactive C# and C++ courses.
01 // LIVE NUMBERS
The notebook grows every day.
02 // CATEGORIES
Six fields, one curiosity.
Electrical & Energy
From the grid to the panel: high voltage, earthing and site practice.

4 articles →03 // COURSES
Learn by writing code.
The C# and C++ courses run in your browser: no setup, with runnable code, exercises and a mini quiz in every lesson.
All courses →04 // CALCULATORS
Engineering calculators, in your pocket.
Ready-made tools for the calculations electrical and electronics work needs again and again: skip memorising formulas, enter values, read the result.
Open the tools05 // CYBER LAB
Play, break, learn.
The lab holds simulations and gamified missions: network protocols, code breaking, system bottlenecks.
36 kV Substation & SCADA Operator
Operate 36 kV MV substations, manage transformers and bus couplings with LOTO safety interlocks. Experience SCADA operations with live single-line diagrams, relay fault scenarios, and realistic switchgear audio.
Launch → LABLogic Gate Puzzles
Build the given truth table with AND, OR, NOT, XOR and NAND gates across 16 levels; earn three stars with the fewest gates.
Launch → LABPanel Master
Choose the breaker, RCD and cable size for each load of a dwelling; learn why a wrong choice fails, with reasons.
Launch → LABCircuit Lab
Place batteries, resistors, LEDs, switches and meters on the board; watch the current with a real DC solver and solve 10 missions.
Launch → LABInteractive C++ Course
An 18-lesson C++ course in your browser where you earn XP: explanations, code, output prediction and bug hunting.
Launch → LABVirtual Oscilloscope
Measure waves from a signal generator on a 2-channel scope with XY mode and cursors; solve 8 measurement missions.
Launch → LABCyber Intelligence Simulation
10-question rounds from a 60-question pool: hardware, networking, electrics, software and AI; timer, combo and lifeline.
Launch → LABSystems Engineering Simulator
Clear bottlenecks during an 8K render, upgrade the hardware and keep the system alive for 10 minutes without a crash.
