Building Circuits

Created by: Chibitronics and Prince George's County Public Schools

The students begin to understand how circuits work and problem solve as they begin to build their own circuits. They build a parallel circuit with two or more lights and design a light up card. Building on those skills, the students write and illustrate a creative story and add a light circuit with copper tape and LED lights. They then program the LED lights and animate their story using the programmable Chibi Chip from Chibitronics.

Grade Levels: 4-8
