Saturday Morning STEM Session - Fun with Snap Circuits

Bolingbrook STEM Association in collaboration with Fountaindale Public Library Presents: 

A Saturday Morning STEM Session Featuring:

Fun with Snap Circuits

To Include Electronic Kits and PhET Simulation Activities

Join the Bolingbrook STEM Association as part of our ongoing Saturday Morning STEM Session series, for an immersive, hands-on, and fun learning opportunity where students will be introduced to the basic properties of electricity and electronics. They will learn the fundamentals behind circuitry, and how circuits are used in all of the technological devices we use today.

Students will explore the captivating world of electricity and engage in the basics of circuitry as part of the BSA Snap Circuits Electronic Kit activities, as well as participate in a variety of interactive PhET Simulation Activities.

The project acronym "PhET" originally stood for "Physics Education Technology," but PhET soon expanded to other disciplines. The project now designs, develops, and releases interactive simulations for educational use in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and mathematics.  PhET Simulation Activities connect and build on students' prior knowledge & understanding by utilizing simulations that promote the use of critical and evaluative thinking. The situation feels real, and thus leads students to engage with the activity more enthusiastically and interactively.

Note: Limited seating capacity available for 20 students. Register as soon as possible! Registration Portal will close once the capacity has been reached for the session. 

The session will take place in person at the Fountaindale Library located at 300 W. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook, IL 60440!
