Our Playshops have included electric circuits for the past few years. This time we will be expanding our creations by adding switches, motors, lights, and other devices. No experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to have fun. Come see what story you can tell with simple electrical concepts.

Who Should Come?

  • Educators: Enhance your curriculum with hands-on STEAM activities.

  • Parents: Engage in meaningful and playful learning experiences with your children.

  • Children (with an adult): Discover the joy of building and innovating with peers.

  • Families: Strengthen bonds through collaborative learning.

Event Highlights:

  • Build simple electrical circuits

  • Explore and use various electrical components such as switches, motors, vibrating motors, LEDs.

  • Use electrical circuits to tell or enhance a story.

Coding Your Story

Creative Coding With Apps - What stories can we create with coding programs?

Computer coding is not difficult. You don’t have to know any secret language or symbols. You can use easy to understand apps like Scratch and Octostudio. That’s what we will investigate. We will show how devices and physical materials can interact to help tell our stories.

What is surface tension? How might we utilize this force to do interesting things?

Have you ever seen an insect “walking” on water? How does that work? What other mysteries does water hold? This Playshop will have us experimenting with water and surface tension. You will be amazed at what you might discover.

How does a solar cell create electricity?

We know that solar power can lower our power bills, but can it do anything else? What if we could build some mechanical devices that run on solar power? Let’s try! Come play with solar power, build, tinker, and create, all with the power of the sun.
