What the week actually is

Circuits are the cleanest lesson in cause and effect a child can hold in their hands. Wire it wrong and nothing happens; there is no arguing with it, and no partial credit. Children who struggle with abstraction often come alive here.

Day by day

  1. Current, resistance, and a lightbulb
  2. First circuit that works
  3. First circuit that does not, and why
  4. Design your own build
  5. Showcase: it lights up or it does not
