Seeing their own work come to life gives them a real sense of accomplishment and helps them understand how STEM concepts are applied in the real world.\r\n\r\nWhen the kits first arrived, the students were thrilled and curious. Many had never held a soldering iron before, and there was an immediate buzz of excitement as they explored the tools and components. They asked thoughtful questions and eagerly discussed what each part of the circuit does, demonstrating both their natural curiosity and their willingness to tackle new challenges.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our classroom will be to build on these skills with slightly more complex projects, such as creating small electronic gadgets or troubleshooting circuits.
