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 Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. 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.
