Current Modules
MAKE IT TO THE END - KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE
MAKE IT MOVE - SECOND GRADE
GET ON BOARD - THIRD GRADE
LIGHT IT UP - FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE
In the Light it up 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.
