Description

Teaching electronics concepts can be a daunting task no matter what age or ability level you're working with. You have to gather the correct components, create projects and activities, as well as design lesson plans and materials. The Circuits 101 Classroom line was designed as a complete classroom solution for STEM teachers. Not only do we give you a robust set of materials to use but we also provide the lesson plans, projects, activities, diagrams, and videos.

Learning how to program is like learning a foreign language, it's not something that can be quickly done over a dozen lessons. These lesson plans focus on teaching students the basics of programing while also having them modify more complicated code in order to learn how different parts interact. Distance sensors and other such parts show how to manipulate servos, and 7 segment displays, speakers, and LEDs show readings. Their goal is to inspire and engage students, not just teach them how to write lines of code.

This programming set comes with 5 student boxes filled with electronics parts and supplies. Teachers can easily hand out the boxes and use the free Crazy Circuits curriculum and resources to quickly and easily run lessons. Every Set comes with a Teacher Box which includes a full set of supplies as well as additional batteries, tape, and informational cards. Each student box is a compete set of parts to be used by one group of students. (We recommend groups of no larger than three students, especially when working with a computer.)

This kit comes with both Squishy Circuits Dough and Bare Conductive Paint. These conductive substances are alternative inputs used to control the various electronics parts included in the kit. Use conductive paint to create your own piano, or control a servo by changing the length of conductive dough. (Large sets come with more parts.)
