Session description

In this hands-on session, the Chibitronics team shares different tools for finding authentic core curriculum connections as you create paper circuits. Participants will work together or individually to begin planning a classroom activity. No electronics background needed to make beautiful educational experiences.

Purpose & objective

Participants will be able to:
- Create a working simple circuit
- Create a working parallel circuit
- Support student-centered troubleshooting of circuits
- Design a paper circuit learning activity grounded in local requirements (i.e., required content standards, local educational initiative alignment, etc.) that includes formative and summative assessments of both content and technical skills/knowledge
- Identify the required activity materials (e.g., LEDs, batteries, conductive material) and how to source them beyond Chibitronics

Evidence of success:
- working circuits
- activity planning template completion
