CLASS WORKSHOP: Circuit Challenges with Motors for Young Innovators for 5th & 6th class
Welcome to our exciting workshop designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of circuits, motor mechanics, and problem-solving through engineering design challenges.
During this workshop, children will have the opportunity to explore and experiment with circuits, learning the basics of electricity flow and how to create simple circuits. They will also dive into the world of motors and discover how these devices can be used to bring their creations to life.
Like in the workshop for 3rd and 4th class, children will have the opportunity to explore and experiment with circuits, learning the basics of electricity flow and how to create simple circuits. We will emphasize safety precautions and ensure that your child understands how to correctly connect the components. We will also introduce MOTORS as a versatile and innovative component in circuits, highlighting their unique characteristics. Each child will learn how to use motors to solve an engineeing design challenge, adding this interactive element to their project, including how to incorporate switches to control the motor.
By participating in this workshop, children will:
- Gain a fundamental understanding of circuits and electricity flow
- Develop hands-on skills in constructing simple circuits and an motor engineering project
- Foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities
- Enhance collaboration and communication skills through group activities
- Foster an interest in STEAM-related subjects, specifically electronics and engineering
This workshop is a great hands-on insight into the fascinating world of circuits and motors, with opportunities to tackle engineering design challenges incorporating circuits to innovate solutions.
