Circuit Labs Summer 2026
Interactive Coding for Kids 7/20/26 - 7/24/26For grades 4-6 - 9am - 12pmIn this hands-on class, students explore Scratch programming, using the MIT-developed programming interface to craft stories and games. Then we will use Makey Makey boards to invent new ways to interact with the Scratch projects using everyday objects. Our circuitry projects will become musical instruments, video game controllers, pressure sensors, and more. Students will learn valuable 21st-century skills while engaging in these fun, creative lessons. Collaborative project challenges enhance teamwork skills and inspire critical thinking. No prior coding experience required.
App Inventors - 7/20/26 - 7/24/26
Grades 4-6 - 1pm - 4pm
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, we use MIT App Inventor software to make fun, creative apps for Android
phones and tablets. We will also explore wireless communication by building custom bluetooth hardware controllers and readouts
for our apps. Participants will learn both the programming and design aspects of creating great apps, and have the opportunity to
build apps of their own with the support of Circuit Lab instructors.

Circuit Makers 101 - 8/10/26 - 8/14/26
Grades 1-3 - 9am - 12pm
Let’s get creative with electricity! In this junior version of our Hands-On Electronics class, students will gain experience with creating their own electronics; designing custom light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class day consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project, using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Circuit Lab staff will make sure participants create a project that they can be proud of each day. Most class days include a take-home project.
Robot Commanders 101 - 8/10/26 - 8/14/26
For grades 1-3 - 1pm - 4pm
Understanding how software can interact with robots is a key skill for the STEM jobs of tomorrow. In this class we provide several active, playful activities, where students learn about what it means to write, debug, and execute computer programs that communicate with different robotic devices. Using the power of code, students will turn Sphero SPRK+ robots into Magic 8 Balls, automated Red Light / Green Light games, and the arcade classic Pong — and Unruly Splats will become our voting machines, relay races, guessing games, and more.
