Let’s get creative with electricity!
In this junior hands-on electronics class, students will gain experience with creating their own electronics; designing custom light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and more. Each class day consists of a circuitry lesson and hands-on electronics projects, using components like wires, lights, switches, and motors. Circuit Lab staff will make sure participants create many projects that they can be proud of, and each class day includes a project to keep.
Cost includes a materials kit which includes a variety of small circuitry parts such as motors, wires, LEDs, connectors, batteries, etc. which will be individually packaged for each project that will be built in class. There will also a small list of items with each project that families will need to provide such as paper, markers, & pliers. The kit will need to picked up from the Parks and Recreation office prior to the first day of class. We will notify you when they are available for pick up.
For our online class, you will be sent a link for the zoom meeting.
Class presented by Circuit Lab
Engage with electronics as tools - not toys.
Electronics power our world more every day, and the people who can manipulate them will design our future. By learning to creatively engage with the electronics as tools, we bring our students the skills to interact fully with the modern world. And we make lots of fun projects along the way. Circuit Lab programs give kids the opportunity to create devices by blending technical concepts with hands-on experimentation in a creative environment. We use the latest technologies including Arduino and Raspberry Pi to design smarter flashlights, race cars, musical instruments, games, and more. Each class session begins with a brief conceptual overview before launching into an interactive, hands-on activity.
Circuit Lab programs are a fun and creative way to give kids fluency and confidence in an increasingly necessary skill. We are excited to teach your kids the tools to design and create whatever they imagine!
