ENCHANTED ELECTRONICS

Enchanted Electronics   Ages 5-7

In this hands-on experience, students will combine tactile materials like playdough with electronic components to explore electricity and magnetism in a creative way. As they mold the playdough into various shapes, they’ll discover the conductive and insulative properties of different dough compositions, while designing 3D circuit models incorporating LED lights, motors, and buzzers.
