Description
Class Experience
Students will learn about the straight line motion principles of position & displacement 1. Why position is important 2. How position and displacement are closely connected. 3. How negative and positive numbers are used to understand direction and displacement of objects moving in a straight line 4. How a simple DC circuit works 5. How to design, build, test & measure, retry. As they improve their initial design
I am an electronic test system design engineer with 15 years working experience as a STEM professional. I really enjoy teaching STEM and passing on the passion of STEM to the next generation.
