Squishy Circuits (Lead Instructor: Lauren Semararo)

June 4 – from 10:00 to noon for kids aged 8 to 12 (limit 8)

Squishy Circuits is a fun introduction to electricity and how it works.
We will use playdoh and electronic components to help kids begin to
learn how electricity works and what it takes to create a basic circuit.
Each child will receive two kinds of playdoh and the components needed
to create their own project that lights up.

Class fee (includes materials) $20.00



Hey! That’s MY water bottle (Lead Instructor: Steve Holt)

June 11 – from 10:00 to 12:00 for kids from 8 to 17 (limit 8)

Create a personalized aluminum water bottle by making your own design
and engraving it on the laser cutter. In addition, staff will help the
students make vinyl stickers or a water bottle holder to take home. We
will provide the bottles and other materials but you have to provide the
ideas!

Class fee (includes materials) $20.00



Rock your Ride

June 18 – from 10:00 to 3:00 for kids from 13 to 17 (limit 8) (Lead
Instructor: Luke Scharf)

Wash your bike and bring it to the lab. We’ll help you make it even more
awesome with reflective materials to create decals and striping as well
as a couple of varieties of lights. Kids will create a theme and then
design the electric and visual components to make their bikes safer in
the dark and really cool. We will have a variety of high and low tech
materials to choose from as well as the tools needed. Each student
should bring a lunch and we’ll provide some snacks and beverages.

Class fee (includes materials and snacks) $40.00
