Nanan Academy Visits Shanghai International STEAM Education R&D Base

On February 17, 2025, The Nanan Academy team visited the Shanghai International STEAM Education R&D Base, an after-school program held on Saturdays where students aged 8 to 18 explore electronics and robotics. It was exciting to see young learners gaining hands-on experience with technology.

Student coding an Arduino Microcontroller

During our visit, students were programming Arduino microcontrollers to make LEDs blink, an important step in learning electronics. They were also breadboarding circuits and troubleshooting connections. Their creativity and problem-solving skills were on full display.

Student Building a Circuit

The students enjoyed using a 3D printer to create custom parts for their projects. This technology allows them to bring their ideas to life, combining programming, electronics, and design. Our trip to the Shanghai International STEAM Education R&D Base was inspiring. As we continue our mission to equip students with cutting-edge skills, We look forward to more opportunities to connect with young innovators around the world!
