CIRCUIT BUILDING CAMP- RECAP
Campers learned all about circuitry and electricity during the fall Youth Media & Tech camp at the Media Arts Center over Thanksgiving break. Toys were hacked for their circuit boards, and with a little solder they were transformed into new noise-making objects!
On the first day everyone broke open toys to extract the circuit boards.
Nick works carefully to connect wires together.
