Event Details

5 Sessions. Thursdays, 5:30pm-7:00pm, 11/19 through 12/17.  No class on Thanksgiving, (11/26).   For kids, ages 8-12.

This class will be an introduction to analogue electronics, which will explore, through a couple of related projects, basic electronics components (resistors, switches, capacitors, diodes), and the relationship between electricity and magnetism (through electromagnets, motors, and generators).  We'll take apart  and examine scrap electronics, build motors, lights, play sounds, and make connections.

The suggested donation for the workshop is $100. All of the events, classes, and workshops hosted and run by the Parts and Crafts Collective are free, or operate on a sliding-scale. Donations greater than the suggested amount are deeply appreciated and help us create our projects and run our programs and allow us to work with people who could not otherwise afford to come to our events. No one will be turned away based on their lack of ability to pay
