Squishy Circuits

A squishy circuits class is a educational event in which students use conductive and non-conductive playdough to create and explore simple circuits. In this class, students may:

  • Learn about the basic principles of simple circuits: Students may learn about the fundamental concepts and principles of simple circuits, such as the types of components and conductors that can be used, the properties of different materials, and the factors that influence the performance of a circuit. They may also learn about the safety precautions and best practices for working with simple circuits.

  • Learn about conductive and non-conductive materials: Students may learn about the difference between conductive and non-conductive materials, and how these materials can be used to create simple circuits. They may learn about the properties of different types of conductive and non-conductive materials, and how these properties can be used to create different types of circuits.

  • Explore the properties of conductive and non-conductive playdough: Students may use conductive and non-conductive playdough to create and explore simple circuits. They may use a variety of tools and materials to create different types of circuits, and to measure and test the performance of these circuits.

  • Practice working with conductive and non-conductive playdough: Students may have the opportunity to practice working with conductive and non-conductive playdough to create and explore simple circuits. They may be asked to complete a series of exercises or projects that help them develop their skills and knowledge of simple circuits and the properties of conductive and non-conductive materials.

Overall, a squishy circuits class can be a valuable educational experience that helps students learn about the principles and applications of simple circuits, and how to use conductive and non-conductive materials to create and explore these circuits. It can also be a fun and engaging way for students to learn about the latest developments in technology and electrical engineering.
