Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County

We partnered with the UW-Madison Student Chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE UW-Madison) for a hands-on STEM Night! Each of our six Matches worked with IEEE members to build a simple electronic circuit on a breadboard, featuring a 555 timer and LED lights. Littles got to take their completed circuits and kits home, sparking even more exploration in electronics! We’re incredibly grateful for experiences like this that inspire our Littles and open doors to potential STEM careers!
