Raemi Shibata with students
Raemi Shibata never expected to teach middle and high school students to build electronic toys and circuit boards when she was an engineering student at Portland State University. She really didn’t know how she was going to use her engineering degree upon graduation. A summer working with The Invention Factory and CRDG Summer Programs changed that.
Following her graduation from Portland State, Shibata’s summer work paid off when she joined The Invention Factory as an instructor. According to Shibata, there are other pay-offs as well. When a student “gets it, it’s like WOW!” Maybe
