NOTE: ***If your child is new to Snap Circuits, then BEFORE taking this camp, please complete my Introduction to Electrical Circuits class (Level 0)****** https://outschool.com/classes/steam-introduction-to-electrical-circuits-learn-with-snap-circuits-pebtlGX4?sectionUid=29e6e1b9-8989-48ab-93f4-3e89e6cf6586&usid=Hr2axcwU&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link In this class, we will learn the fundamentals of circuits through the use of Snap Circuits (the Lego of electronics!). My classes are focused on circuit theory and I explain different components on every level. The theory of higher levels is based on concepts learned from previous levels. For that reason, I suggest my student to start from Level 0 so they are exposed to wide range of STEM concepts. Course levels are NOT based on student-building skills but on theoretical knowledge. We will start our course with simple circuits and progressively incorporate additional components to make it more interesting. I designed most of my circuits to help students understand the concepts being taught. Understanding circuits is helpful to anybody, opening the door to hundreds of fun ideas and principles! ********REQUIREMENTS******** It is required to have a COMPATIBLE set of Snap Circuits in order to take this class. -[GOOD] SNAP CIRCUITS® CLASSIC (Model: SC-300): Compatible with Levels 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Parental Guidance
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (PLEASE READ THE POLICIES BEFORE BOOKING):
- Please ensure you have the right materials prior to starting the summer camp. I will not accommodate transfer requests for not having the right set or not having a set at all.
- This class has a limited refund policy, Full refund until a week in advance, or within 24 hours of purchase (until class starts).
- Transfer requests for classes need to be made at least 24 hours prior of starting time. This allows enough time for another student to enroll.
- Missed classes cannot be made up at another time or date. students who missed a class can request the recording of the missed session.
-Student Age group and Parent Support:
Please note that this class tries to keep a balance between experienced students and new students who may need more time. Age may be also a factor in the performance and enjoyment of the class. If your child is 6 years of age or under, a parent may need to support the student in the circuit buailding process as well as guiding him to remain focused on the projects being worked on.
