Electricity & Electronics Elementary School Challenge

Program Overview
The Electricity & Electronics Elementary School Challenge has been designed to supplement the curriculum of an elementary school (3-6) science teacher. Like other AWIM challenges, the Electricity & Electronics Challenge will join together teachers, students, and industry volunteers in an exploration of physical science while addressing essential scientific concepts and skills.
