Scrappy Circuits – The Magic Wand and Buzzer Blocks

The teaching and learning of invention literacy is often locked behind many pre-requisite skills and expensive STEM toys. Scrappy Circuits breaks down these barriers to learning to invent through using a modular system of bricks build by the learner and sourced for commonly found objects. During our session we will build off of the 5 Core Bricks and add the Magic Wand and Buzzer bricks. 

Watch and make LIVE on the Family Maker Camp FB page or on the Make: Kids Youtube channel.
