Cougar Ridge Students Use Circuitry to Add Audio to Posters

At Cougar Ridge Elementary, teacher Cathy Chmielewski’s students recently presented “World Celebrations” posters they created -- but these were no ordinary posters. The posters use circuit boards to connect touch points, and activate a recording for each one. Students presented their posters in a gallery style, and some groups also shared “artifacts” to highlight that particular world celebration.
