  • Series and Parallel Circuits Course: In the Series and Parallel circuits course, our participants will be led through the difference between series and parallel circuitry by way of an LED, 3V battery and copper tape activity. Participants will be asked to make their own designs using copper tape given the topic of series or parallel electrical current.

  • 3D Printing: In this course participants will learn how to set up and run the Printrbot Play 3D printers. The object to be printed will either be downloaded from thingiverse.com, or a 3D scan of the participant's face.
