Circuit Lab - Circuit Lab Circuit Makers 101
Instructor: Circuit LabBio: Since 2015, Circuit Lab has offered hands-on learning programs in Greater Boston to teach children about circuitry (electrical engineering) and programming (computer science). Our programs give kids an opportunity to learn essential modern-world skills that aren’t typically taught in school in a creative and supportive setting where they have access to leading-edge electronics prototyping equipment.Program Descriptions: Circuit Makers 101 Let’s get creative with electricity! In this junior electronics class, students will gain experience with creating their own electronics; designing custom light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class day consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project, using components such as lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Circuit Lab staff will make sure participants create a project that they can be proud of each day. Most class days include a take-home project.Hands-On Electronics Tinker with electronics while learning the basics of computer programming. We begin by experimenting with the fundamentals of electronics and circuitry, and step up to projects where our class of young makers will design their own interactive and programmable devices. Participants use the latest tools including Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to experiment with LEDs, resistors, motors, and programming. Each class day gives participants the chance to design a hands-on project with the guidance of skilled Circuit Lab instructors.Spring 2: Circuit Makers 101Schedule: 6-weeks on Thursdays 5/2-6/6Grade Level: K-2Cost: $192R/$197NRLocation: Shaker LnSummer AM: Circuit Makers 101Schedule: July 1- July 3 (9am-12pm)Grade Level: 1-3Cost: $131R/$141NRLocation: LMSSummer PM: Hands-On ElectronicsSchedule: July 1- July 3 (1pm-4pm)Grade Level: 4-7Cost: $131R/$141NRLocation: LMS
