About this adventure
A drop-in circuitry session at Discovery Museum in Acton where children squish and sculpt conductive playdough and use it to light up LEDs and set off buzzers. It turns a familiar toy into a first lesson in how electricity flows, so it works for preschoolers who just want to see the lights come on and for older kids who can experiment with series and parallel shapes. Messy hands are part of the fun. The activity runs for two hours on a Wednesday afternoon and is included with museum admission; drop in any time in that window.
