Students will explore how circuits work, build with breadboards, create circuit diagrams and be introduced to coding using the BBC Micro:bit. No experience is needed to take this class, and all materials and electronics kits are provided. Each session is designed to build confidence, curiosity and real engineering skills in a fun and low-pressure environment. Whether you've never touched a circuit before or you're ready to take your STEM curiosity to the next level, Circuit Explorers is the place to start. Meet the program instructor: Jess Newsom Ms. Jess founded Inventors Lab to share her love and passion for working with students of all ages and backgrounds to develop their skills in STEM-related topics. Jess graduated with her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona where she also was actively involved in creating interactive labs in virtual reality (VR) for the biology department, competing with the Human-Powered Vehicle project team and hosting workshops on how to create aquaponics systems. She has spent the last nine years teaching K-12 robotics while running a center in California, and she has coached VEX Robotics competition teams at the middle school and high school levels. Outside of STEM-related activities, she spends her time in her workshop creating art, developing her own video games, crocheting cute animals, knitting garments and reading. Jess is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others and inspiring them to be creative and tackle cool projects.
