My Project

Help me bring this super cool project to my middle school scientists! Your generous donation would greatly impact these students’ learning experiences, helping them build both science skills and show off their artistic skills.

Circuit art combines the fundamentals of electrical engineering with visual design.

Students will create their own art pieces by incorporating basic circuitry elements such as LED lights, batteries, and conductive materials. Not only will they learn valuable STEM skills, but they will also engage in hands-on problem solving and discover how technology can enhance creativity.

I know my students are going to love this project!
