Circuitry Workshop

​On Saturday, November 23rd, we hosted our Circuitry Workshop at the Mission Valley Library! Participants started by learning about electricity and lightning, the history of batteries, and circuits.

Then, to apply their knowledge of circuits, they engaged in an activity, which was creating light-up nametags. The girls really enjoyed the problem-solving process and the celebrations when their circuits worked. After this activity, one participant expressed, “Originally, I wasn’t sure about coming to this workshop, but now, I feel interested in science.” After the snack break, the fun continued with everyone at the workshop holding hands in a circle to create a human circuit and illustrate the flow of electricity! This was followed by trivia and charades, which reinforced key concepts in an engaging way.

In the final segment of this workshop, we welcomed Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, the youngest Member of Congress from California. She shared her journey and experiences, the importance of education and advocacy, and the power of the next generation to make an impact on the community. The Q&A session was lively, with many attendees asking thoughtful questions and feeling empowered by her story and insights.

The Circuitry Workshop was fun and inspiring, involving both hands-on activities and real-world inspiration. We hope you will join us for the Holiday STEM Party next month!
