"Circuit UP" your Rover!
-- For Grade 4 to 6 --
Learn Circuitry by doing!
This workshop will fill with many exciting projects such as AM radios, burglar alarms, doorbells and much more! By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with writing schematics and the rudimentary knowledge about circuit components and common designs with series vs parallel.
In addition, students will learn the fundamental mechanical concepts on building a strong rover, and the significance of math application.
To conclude the workshop, students will apply your circuitry knowledge to complete the circuit for a rover. There is no soldering required as all the parts snap together with ease. Once completed, you will be able to navigate your surroundings with rover remote control.
Option to bring the Snap RC Rover home at $90.
PreRequisites:
- Proficient in Arithematics such as Average, Fractions, and Decimal Places operations.
- Should know about ratio, area and circumference of basic geometric shapes.
Take home the Rover: add $90
