*SPECIFIC MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS* **NOTE: Please, Read My Class Policy (under the parental guidance section) Before Enrolling ** This class teaches the fundamentals of electrical circuits through the use of Snap Circuits (the Lego of electronics!). Students will learn how each component work and what happens when changing the layout of a circuit or putting items backward! We will start with simple circuits to and progressively incorporate additional components to make it more interesting. With Snaps circuits, parts are easily snapped in and out, which makes the class fun and easy to understand. Additional skills to be gained from this class: - Critical thinking - Teamwork - Troubleshooting - Creativity FIVE DAY SUMMER CAMP AVAILABLE: I also offer a five day Summer camp covering many electrical circuit concepts with daily and progressive challenges. link to Electrical Circuits Summer Camp: https://outschool.com/classes/electrical-circuits-summer-camp-learn-with-snap-circuits-5AcNp3pj#usHr2axcwU Understanding circuits will open the door to hundreds of fun projects! ****SPECIFIC MATERIALS REQUIRED***** (I highly suggest purchasing at least the SC-300 or higher model set.) -[MINIMUM] SNAP CIRCUITS® JR (Model: SC-100): Compatible with Levels 0, 1, and 2.
