ππ‘ Inspiring Future Engineers! π‘π
Yesterday, Buena High School's Engineering Club visited Carmichael 5th grade students during their technology special. π Our high school students shared their passion for STEM and introduced our young scholars to the exciting world of electric circuits, coding, and the magic of RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED color-changing technology. π
In a hands-on project, small groups of students had the opportunity to build their own circuits and dive into the world of coding using a Chromebook. π₯οΈπ·ββοΈπ·ββοΈ It was a day of learning, creativity, and sparking interest in the fields of engineering and technology.
