Putting Knowledge to Work
Students in Mr. Christian Barrus’ physics classes put their circuitry knowledge and skills to work to modify and adapt toys to interface with an adaptive controller for children with disabilities. The workshop provided by RePlay for Kids and sponsored by a First Energy Educator Grant resulted in 40 new electronic toys rewired by high school students for external input connections.
Showcasing Students
