My Project

We will be learning about soldering first by creating a mosaic stained glass art that connects to students culture and their motivation. Next students will get a chance to use their skills learned with a soldering iron to create a working circuit board! Student will get a chance to learn about various applicstions of soldering while making things that will motivate them and get them interested in learning more!

My students could greatly benefit from learning these skills as they are industry relevant.

Students love hands on learning in STEM based class rooms!
