Techtronics is an after-school science enrichment program at Rogers-Herr Middle School. In this program, students are introduced to four branches of engineering: Electrical and Computer, Biomedical, Civil, and Mechanical. Through hands-on projects, such as building solar photo-voltaic cell panels and biological signal measurement systems, students learn to formulate ideas and bring those ideas to life.

Director: Dr. Gary Ybarra, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University

Teachers: Paul Klenk, Graduate Student, Duke University and Kathy Barcus, Senior, Duke University

Meeting Time: Tuesdays from 2:45pm - 4:45pm beginning September 4, 2001

There will be multimedia engineering lessons on this website for each of the projects enabling students to learn material missed in class.

Thank you to Burroughs Wellcome Fund for supporting our program!
