Have you been tantalized by cool costumes & projects using LEDs, Arduinos, or EL-wire? Ever wondered what’s going on inside your computer, television, or vacuum cleaner? Electricity permeates our modern existence, and learning your way around circuits is the first step in demystifying it. In this class, we’ll start with the very basics, exploring the fundamentals of circuits by building a lemon-cell battery. We’ll teach you how to identify common circuit components, use tools like multimeters and breadboards, start to understand schematics and datasheets, and describe what’s going on with a few equations. You’ll build some simple circuits and go home with a mini-breadboard so you can tackle your own projects! This class is suitable for ages 13+.
