In this live wire experience, kids will learn about electricity, how it works, and how we use it to power our home appliances and devices. They will design and implement several different circuits that produce different results. Some will power lights, others horns, as well as the recording and playing back of sounds. In longer experiences, kids will also gain exposure to switches, transistors, and control, modulate, and utilize electrons. They'll begin to understand conductivity, and how to increase and decrease conductivity. Supercharge their learning: with circuits!
Nathan is originally from Vermont, and moved to Colorado in 2003 where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. He is skilled in building and construction, as well as in the STEM fields, and believes that kids can learn by doing which also serves to build their confidence. An avid snowboarder, he's tutored students of all ages (his oldest student was 66!) in math and science.
Nathan is vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.
