12/5/13 Basic electrical circuits - This week's challenge was to build a circuit that flashes two LEDs on and off. The children were provided with breadboards, resistors, capacitors, transistors, wires and battery packs. A circuit diagram was provided, but the children had to figure out how to map the circuit diagram to pins on the breadboard. Most families succeeded in the challenge though some of the younger children had fun just getting LEDs to light up in simpler circuits. One family went on to solder their circuit, make use of the soldering station available at Makespace while others connected their circuits to oscilloscopes.
