Program Description

Event Details

Students become electrical engineers as they explore how electricity powers everyday devices. Using Snap Circuits kits, learned construct a simple circuit that lights a lamp or spins a motor and investigate how switches, resistors, and batteries all play a role in the system. This interactive lesson introduces core concepts of electric current and circuit design. Students will make observations, test their builds, and troubleshoot problems just like real engineers. The visit concludes with a team challenge: can you design a circuit that triggers both light and sound?

Ages 8-15. Limit 25 youth.

Registration required. Each youth must be registered individually.
