Pembroke Recreation is excited to announce that we are partnering with Circuit Labs to provide the community two unique summer opportunities.
Electronics power our world more every day, and the people who can manipulate them will design our future. By learning to engage with electronics as tools - not toys - campers will have the skills to interact fully with the modern world.
Circuit Lab Camps blend technical concepts with hands-on experimentation in a creative environment. They use a variety of up-to-date technologies in each of our different curricula. Each day of class includes an introduction to new concepts, a guided hands-on activity, and open-ended project "challenges", with the ultimate goal of giving kids fluency and confidence in increasingly necessary skills.
Circuit Makers 101
For children entering grades 1-3/Ages 6-8
Let's get creative with electricity! In this junior 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. Each class day includes a take-home project
App Inventors
For children entering grades 4-7/Ages 9-13
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.
