• Increase access to STEM resources focused on circuits & electronics,
• Increase participants’ knowledge of circuits & electronics
• Increase knowledge of careers in associated industries.

CFE Links:

• SCN 1-09a I can describe an electrical circuit as a continuous loop of conducting materials. I can combine simple components in a series circuit to make a game or model.
• SCN 2-09a I have used a range of electrical components to help make a variety of circuits for differing purposes. I can represent my circuit using symbols and describe the transfer of energy around the circuit.
