Hands-On Electronics & APP Inventors (Grades 3-6)

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Tinker with electronics while learning the basics of computer programming. We begin by experimenting with the fundamentals of electronics and circuitry, and step up to projects where our class of young makers will design their own interactive and programmable devices. Participants use the latest tools including Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to experiment with LEDs, resistors, motors, and programming. Each class day gives participants the chance to design a hands-on project with the guidance of skilled Circuit Lab instructors.

Each afternoon, we will explore APPS!  Want to know how the apps work on your phone or iPad? Or do you already have the next great app idea, and just need to know how to make it?  In this no-experience-required course course, we use MIT App Inventor software to make fun, creative apps for Android phones and tablets. Participants will learn both the programming and design aspects of creating great apps, and have the opportunity to build apps of their own design with the support of Circuit Lab instructors.

*PLEASE NOTE:  The half-day option will feature only Hands-On Electronics programming.*
