In this module, students use the power of circuity and electricity to create works of art that move, make sound, or light up. Some examples of these types of projects may be digital jewelry, circuit boards, or greeting cards using paper circuits that light up or make sounds. Students experiment with building different kinds of circuits using a battery, LED, conductive tape and conductive thread. By testing and manipulating these components, students develop a more intuitive sense of how electricity flows through a circuit.

Students may decide to work as a team, in small groups or individually to create their choice projects. Students will develop initiative and self-drive, critical thinking and decision making, resiliency through managing their frustrations when things don’t work the way they had hoped, and how to provide and take critical feedback.

This module is required for fourth and fifth grades and optional for all other grade levels
