My Project

In our school's brand new Intro to Engineering class, we're all about hands-on, real-world learning. That's why I'm excited about getting these 'Smart Tech Explorer Kits' for my students.

Think of them as treasure chests, packed with all the goodies – sensors, motors, displays – the stuff that's building our connected, modern world.

These aren't your average electronics kits. Each one is a mini-lab for exploring the Internet of Things (IoT) with a Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller at its heart. It's about giving my students a firsthand experience with the tech that's shaping their future.

My students come from all walks of life, each bringing their unique flair to our class. This diversity is our strength, sparking creativity and unique problem-solving approaches. With these kits, they'll dive into the basics of electronics, and then leap into designing their own projects. I can't wait to see their ideas come to life, turning these bits and pieces into something meaningful and cool.

This isn't just learning; it's about empowering these young minds to understand and contribute to the world they're growing up in. It's a smorgasbord of electronic goodness, and I'm eager to help them navigate and master it."
