My Project

Engage students in an exciting journey through the world of electrical circuits using Snap Circuits. This hands-on approach simplifies the complex concepts for students and allows them to grasp the functioning of electrical circuits effortlessly. By adopting the student-led teaching model in my STEM classroom, Snap Circuits empowers students to navigate through the projects with clear, easy-to-understand instructions. Each component in Snap Circuits is distinguishable by its unique color and function, mirroring the design of traditional printed circuit boards. Students are honing their problem-solving skills.

This interactive learning experience not only encourages creativity but also provides a tangible way for educators to monitor and support student progress effectively.

My school is developing our very first STEM program so we are trying to equip our students with as many tools as possible.
