Staying entertained during pandemic lockdowns is not easy and can often be very costly. We donated board games, over the summer in 2020, to help the kids at the Thomas House Family Shelter pass time!
In 2019, we held our first STEM class at the Thomas House Family Shelter. The STEM Workshop was robotics-related and held over two days. On the first day, we taught kids from the Thomas House Shelter about the basics of robotics and their importance/relevance. For the second day, we brought Read more…
I recently decided to enter my school’s World No Tobacco Day Poster Competition. There were two different competitions. One was a Poster Competition and the other was a Tobacco and Vaping Prevention Slogan and Graphic Design Contest. The rules of the Slogan and Graphic Design Contest were to create a Read more…
A transistor is a semiconductor device that is commonly used as an electronic switch in circuits. Transistors are like electronic switches. They are both useful in simple applications, like using a single transistor to allow a Raspberry Pi to control a device that requires a lot of current to operate, Read more…
Push buttons are commonly used in circuits to turn on a component while pressed or give signals to a microcontroller via GPIO pins. Push buttons have four different pins, with two on each side. The pins that are across from each other are internally connected. This means that if one Read more…
Light Emitting Diodes, LEDs, are a special kind of diode. Without going into the specifics, a diode is a semiconductor that only allows current to flow through it in one direction. LEDs also only allow current to flow in one direction. However, they are different because they emit light as Read more…
