Squishy Circuits (Lead Instructor: Lauren Semararo)
June 4 – from 10:00 to noon for kids aged 8 to 12 (limit 8)
Squishy Circuits is a fun introduction to electricity and how it works. We will use playdoh and electronic components to help kids begin to learn how electricity works and what it takes to create a basic circuit. Each child will receive two kinds of playdoh and the components needed to create their own project that lights up.
Class fee (includes materials) $20.00
Hey! That’s MY water bottle (Lead Instructor: Steve Holt)
June 11 – from 10:00 to 12:00 for kids from 8 to 17 (limit 8)
Create a personalized aluminum water bottle by making your own design and engraving it on the laser cutter. In addition, staff will help the students make vinyl stickers or a water bottle holder to take home. We will provide the bottles and other materials but you have to provide the ideas!
Class fee (includes materials) $20.00
Rock your Ride
June 18 – from 10:00 to 3:00 for kids from 13 to 17 (limit 8) (Lead Instructor: Luke Scharf)
Wash your bike and bring it to the lab. We’ll help you make it even more awesome with reflective materials to create decals and striping as well as a couple of varieties of lights. Kids will create a theme and then design the electric and visual components to make their bikes safer in the dark and really cool. We will have a variety of high and low tech materials to choose from as well as the tools needed. Each student should bring a lunch and we’ll provide some snacks and beverages.
Class fee (includes materials and snacks) $40.00
