Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase circuit kits that provided our students with a valuable hands-on learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe students worked in small groups, diving into the concepts of electrical circuits by creating simple, parallel, and series circuits. It was wonderful to see them actively engaging with the kits, and their enthusiasm was contagious! One student even shared that the kit made learning about circuits easy and fun.\r\n\r\nA highlight for many was working with the motor, which really brought the concepts to life and added an extra layer of excitement. The small-group setup allowed for exploration and problem-solving, making the learning experience more personal and memorable. This hands-on approach helped deepen their understanding and sparked curiosity that will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour contribution made all of this possible, and we are so grateful for your support.
