**Material Preparation:**
- Ensure that the electronics items required for the hands-on activity are readily available and in working condition. Anticipate any potential technical difficulties and have backup plans in place.
- Verify that the CSV file is accessible and contains appropriate data for the exercise. It's also good to have a backup plan in case there are issues with accessing or using the file.
**Teacher Trial:**
- Conducting a trial run with some teachers is an excellent idea. This will help identify any potential challenges or ambiguities in the instructions before rolling out ..read more
