For the group if children that I had in attendance, a more hands on approach would have been better to convey the content. Hands on would have been able to explain the electricity and how its conducted, also more demonstrations.

The only thing that I think could be worked on, is one making sure all parts work correctly (electric car plug in). It would be nice to see trainings through the window especially for younger students.
