Keep reading to see what we’re accomplishing together this season, and how you can help us go even further.
Creative Electronics
Our 5th graders are shining bright and have been hard at work exploring circuits! First designing LED cards, then tackling solar-powered cars that run on series circuits. Next up: sewing a parallel circuit on an LED Creature using conductive thread! 🪡 The creativity and curiosity in our classrooms are electric. ⚡
Tech & Arts
Creativity is taking off in our middle school classrooms! 🚀🪐 Students are painting vibrant galaxies and transforming their cosmic visions into mixed-media art, complete with embroidered textures, 3D-printed designs, and glowing electrical features. We can’t wait to share their stellar creations soon.
Invent Girls
New year, new mini projects! Our high school Invent Girls participants recently completed their first mini project, the Magic Mirror, a hands-on way to explore sensors, circuitry, and soldering. 💡🪞 Next up: the Tote-ally You tote bag!
