My fourth grade students got to test out the inventions made by the junior high. In the process they got to learn about circuit design including simple and parallel circuits, short circuits, grounding, along with being able to provide feedback for the junior high students on their designs.Your donations helped fund some truly magnificent projects that got to bridge the grade gap for students you don't normally get to collaborate together.
