🚀 Light Up Learning This Summer with Circuit Adventures!

Junior/Beginner Circuits with LittleBits (Ages 6–10):
Spark curiosity and creativity in our youngest engineers! In this introductory camp, students explore the basics of electricity and electronics by building fun, hands-on projects using LittleBits. They’ll learn key concepts such as power, control, and logic while experimenting with lights, sounds, motion, wireless communication, and sensors.

Arduino Circuit Playground (Ages 11–16):
Older students dive deeper into electronics and coding through interactive projects that blend creativity and technology. Using the Arduino Circuit Playground, they’ll design and program devices with colorful LEDs, sound, motion and light sensors, game controllers, and more—all while developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Our Circuit Camps make electrical concepts fun and engaging, offering students a truly “enlightening” experience they won’t forget!
