Event Details

Come on down and level up your reflexes and circuitry knowledge in our LED Reaction Game workshop! Through this circuitry-focused workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience as they build a fundamental knowledge of circuitry. Learn the functions of widely used components, such as logic gates and 555 timers, and apply it while building a functional reaction game. While some knowledge may be helpful, it is absolutely possible to build a kit with no prior experience!

This is an in-person workshop.

Kits are created by UC San Diego's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering student led organization, Project In A Box.

No experience required!

A Middle School or High School student must be participating.

Limit 1 kit per household. Only 1 registration needed per household.
