Program Description

Event Details

Explore the basics of circuits and electronic elements by using them in various craft projects. Build a moving origami swan, fashion wearable light-up LED bracelets and pins, construct moving robot bugs, erect a Play-Doh electronic sculpture, create paper circuit games and light effects cards. The workshop combines crafting and technology to bring your creations to life. Each student will take home a working electronic craft.
