Learn how electrons flow through conductors to create electricity. Work together to make a giant circuit, build Squishy Circuits and Snap Circuits. One hour program; ages 8–12 recommended.

Learn how electricity works by building your own circuit three different ways. We will work together to create a large circuit using copper tape, led lights, a switch, cardboard and lithium batteries. Use two different STEM toys called Snap Circuits and Squishy Circuits to explore the concept of circuits.
