This week our students are diving into the brainstorm step of the engineering design process! They will brainstorm how their technology will meet the given criteria and constraints of the technology they are going to create to solve the problem of lack of adequate electricity!
Here is how our #YiyaAirscience students answered the week 1 test of the new Yiya AirScience STEM course. We are excited to see so many students actively participating every day! #remotelearning #distanclearning #STEMeducation #solarcells #solarpanels #girlsinstem
As the new month begins, our students are now in week 5 of our #YiyaAirScience course! This week, our students will be learning about electricity, semiconductors and how solar cells work. They will also conduct an experiment to test the conductivity of different household objects
