Tips
🧠 Getting Started
🧠 Getting Started
Have students build flat first – Start with 2D circuits on the grid before moving to the 3D house model.
Review safety basics – Emphasize battery orientation and proper snapping technique to prevent damage.
🎯 Teaching Tips
🎯 Teaching Tips
Start with guided builds – Use the included project manual to walk through key concepts like switches, lights, and series vs. parallel circuits.
Connect to real life – Relate each project to a household example (e.g., "This is how a hallway light works").
Assign build roles – For group use, rotate jobs like reader, builder, and tester to encourage teamwork.
🌟 Extension Ideas
🌟 Extension Ideas
Challenge students to modify builds – Ask “What happens if you move this part?” to encourage critical thinking.
Integrate with home safety lessons – Talk about circuit breakers, insulation, and energy conservation alongside hands-on activities.
