Even though RadioShack has gone the way of the doe doe bird, I still remember getting my x-in-1 electronics kits from there. Using those kits I learned to wire circuits, read schematics, and learned what a node is.

Luckily, you can still get one of these kits at – https://www.robotshop.com/en/130-in-1-electronics-playground.html

If you want to learn electronics, or get your child interested in electronics and STEM, this is a kit to buy. It might be a little old fashioned, but it is still a great way to learn electronics!

Her words have led me to fight for inclusion and representation in and beyond STEM.

I am happy to announce that the University of Memphis / Herff College of Engineering has announced E-Day (Herff College Engineering Day) will once again take place this year (after a few years off due to covid).

It is being moved to a Saturday in February instead of a week day and the program will be different than in the past (details are still being worked on but will be posted at https://www.memphis.edu/herff/eday/ when finalized).

he FedEx Institute of Technology and CodeCrew are bringing the inaugural UMazing<Tech/>Race to Memphis. The event will take place at the FedEx Institute of Technology (FIT), Saturday, September 17, 2022, beginning at 9:00 AM. Participants will matriculate throughout the FIT with specific stations unveiled via clues as participants complete each station.

The event is timed. Our goal is to combine physical activity with computer science and technology activities. The event encourages health and exposes participants to be more than just consumers of technology, but producers of technology.

The event is open to teams of two, ages 12 and up. For teams where both participants are minors, a chaperon (18+) will need to join the team during the race.
