STEM Program Report Since September, the studio has been offering STEM lessons, introducing students to science and engineering. Each lesson includes theory, creating a project, and testing it. In November, we talked about electricity, its purpose, and its uses in everyday life. We also examined the structure of a simple electrical circuit and tested how it works. The students built a small mini-project—a circuit made of a battery, wires, and a light bulb- and observed what h
