What kids build, by grade

Three levels, one idea: every circuit is a path. Kids start where they are and climb.

  1. CK–01

    Paper circuits

    Grades 2–4

    Copper tape, a coin cell and an LED on a card. The first time a light turns on because you built the path.

  2. LK–02

    Switches & motion

    Grades 4–6

    A breadboard, switches, a buzzer and a small DC motor. Make it beep, spin and stop on command.

  3. AK–03

    Code the circuit

    Grades 7–8

    An Arduino board, LEDs, a resistor and a servo. Write a few lines of code and the circuit does what you tell it.
