Squishy Circuits

Ever played with play dough? Remember all those fun creations you made? How about adding lights to those playdough shapes and lighting them up! This workshop is all about having fun while learning new things. Kids will experiment with batteries and LED's along with conductive and insulating dough. Also, they will learn about electricity, circuits, voltage, current, and series and parallel connections.

This is our next workshop in the series on Internet of Things (IOT).

This workshop will be presented by Pavi Bhatter and is based on the concept of "Squishy Circuits (http://courseweb.stthomas.edu/apthomas/SquishyCircuits/)".
