Session description

Scrappy Circuits is a method of teaching circuits, invention literacy and science that removes many prerequisites that teachers and students face, including cost, background knowledge, access and delicate learning environments that don't encourage exploration. Discover how your students can build Scrappy Circuits for around $20 a class.

Purpose & objective

Teachers will be able to teach invention literacy in a cost-effective and hands-on manner that allows for student experimentation.
