Event Details
Batteries, Breadboards, Circuits, and Lights Huzzah!
In this class, we will be using breadboards to help us connect our circuits. We will then assimilate the importance of various input and output controls. The class will successfully demonstrate how circuits are the foundation of any robot. Other topics will include the similarities and differences between parallel and serial circuits and lightbulb versus LED lights. We will also dive into switches, buttons, and limit switches and what type of robotic actions will be generated by each. Come join us as we have fun designing the future! Students are encouraged to sign up for Tinkercad. Circuit designs will also be explored and shared for future classes as well.
