Event Details

Circuits provide a pathway for electricity to travel safely into and out of our devices. Students will be introduced to the most basic of DC circuits in Light-a-Bulb Challenge. Students will be given a few basic supplies and must use those three items to light the bulb. You will learn very quickly which parts of the battery are important for current flow and which parts are just along for the ride, so to speak. Once you’ve mastered the concept of a basic circuit, you'll move up to Sidekick Circuits, where you must wire your own circuits on our energy sidekicks, using bulbs to illuminate features on the image and adhesive conductive tape to connect the parts of a circuit.
