Last week, 165 Lowe's Grove Magnet Middle School students participated in hands-on electronics workshops. The workshops led students through assembling a "lightwave communication" receiver and transmitter kit to explain electronics and circuitry concepts. This project was created in partnership with the RTP Rotary and supported with funds from Red Hat.
As part of the RTP Rotary Club's first-ever "STEAM: Changing the World" event, several RTP companies are offering tours to the public on April 20. You can choose tracks that include Bayer Bee Center, Red Hat, Syngenta Labs, the EPA, and more. There are also guest speakers and a reception celebrating RTP's history and future.
Kramden Institute has partnered with RTP Rotary and Red Hat to lead electronics workshops for students at Lowe's Grove Middle School as part of the event.
