Residencies we can do

  • Artificial Intelligence Prompt Engineering
    Learn to write prompts to do research, summarize, create outlines, write code, create images and more.
  • Internet of Things. 
    Use theESP32 microcontroller with Bluetooth and WiFi connected devices. For grades 8 and up. This is based on our IoT book.  https://gearboxlabs.org/curricula/IoT/IoT_Edition 
  • Large data set collection. 
    We would teach how to use an SD cards, Excel, or Google Sheets for real-time data collection for grades 7 and up. This is based on our forthcoming Data book. https://gearboxlabs.org/curricula/STEM_Data/STEM_Data_Edition
