DESCRIPTION: For kids who dare to bring light to their inventions!  In this workshop participants become engineers, makers, and artists. They will create circuits to turn on LEDs and other light sources with a variety of tools such as simple batteries, electronic building blocks, and coding LED screens! Participants will be then encouraged to give a purpose to their circuits - is a light for someone’s bedroom, a light on a dream car, or lights as eyes for your unicorn? Sky is the limit!
