Young Trinitians of Grade 5 delved into the wonders of electronic circuits and power sources at the Workshop held on the 19th of July, organized by the Junior School Science Society.
Here, over the course of 2 and a half hours, students were not only educated on electronic circuits, but also given the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with components such as LEDs, resistors and transistors.
The workshop commenced with a short lecture on the many different types electronic components and power sources, providing students with the foundational knowledge required.
Then, they proceeded to learn how to form circuits with these components and power sources in order to interact with the real world, setting the stage for practical application.
The highlight of the workshop, however, was the practical activity where students collaborated in groups to build a model of a city with street lights. This session was met with sheer excitement from students, who were eager to apply their newly acquired knowledge.
Overall, the Science Society workshop was a success, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on application to inspire and educate students in the field of electronics and project development
Special thanks has to be extended to the Headmistress, Mrs. Chamali de Tissera for her unwavering support, the Grade 5 Sectional Head, Mrs. Malrani Rodrigo, for her guidance, and the Teacher-in-Charge of the Science Society, Ms Mayanthi Abeykoon, for her hard work to make the event a success, and all the students who took part in the workshop.
