I truly believe that hands-on education is the best way to teach engineering, however, this method is very expensive to implement, especially, with the large class size I have in engineering this year (which is awesome to see so many kids interested in STEM but difficult because I need so many more supplies).\r\n\r\nThis project covered PVC pipes and connectors. The 1/2\" PVC connectors are the perfect size to house the DC motors we use in several projects. With these connectors, we are able to center and hold our DC motors in place (as you could see from some of the photos).\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this all possible.

I truly believe that hands-on education is the best way to teach engineering, however, it is very expensive to do. One of the biggest costs I run into every year is the cost of batteries. This project helped purchase several battery types that I need for my various projects. With the variety of batteries that this project covered, my students are able to pick between various voltage sources. For instance, they could use AAA battery packs to make their voltage source smaller to fit into to different containers. These batteries are also useful for their console project (shown in the pictures) which requires four AA batteries! I write an exclamation point there because 4 times the amount of students I teach, is a LOT of batteries.\r\n\r\nThank you for making hands-on education possible.
