Tween S.T.E.A.M. Night: Squishy Circuits

 

 

Sculpt, squish, GLOW!

 

At Calvert Library’s Tween S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Night on Thursday, October 1, we’ll be doing all of that and more with 5th through 7th graders.  From 6:30-8:00 pm at Calvert Library Prince Frederick, librarians will turn into scientists and guide tweens in the art of Squishy Circuits.

 

Squishy Circuits, a project originally designed by the Playful Learning Lab at the University of St. Thomas, are an interactive and fun way to experiment with electricity in a safe way.  Tweens at S.T.E.A.M. Night will use conductive and insulating dough and combine them with battery packs to sculpt functioning circuits.  Concepts of insulation, conduction, parallel and series circuits will be introduced.

 

Registration is required.  For more information visit our website at CalvertLibrary.info or call 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862.
