Mini Maker Program: Squishy Circuits and Crazy Controllers

Kids in grades 3-6 are invited to come to the Weston Public library to learn about circuits and make strange things control their computers!

Kids in grades 3-6 can learn about circuits by experimenting with Squishy Circuits, which is conductive dough, along with real electronic components like LEDs and buzzers. Then they can apply their new knowledge of circuits and conductivity to make strange things into game controllers with Makey Makey. You could make a banana piano, or play Tetris with tin cans! Space is limited. To register please email westonlibrary@westonct.gov. Kids are encouraged to bring a laptop.

This program will be held on January 26 at 4:00 PM.
