Circuit Making is a tinkering activity that has been developed in order to allow kids to have a fun and educational first encounter with electrical circuits.

　　Muse Fablab has developed a set of 8 magnetic modules that can be used both in the context of a formal lecture, and in a playful tinkering setting.

　　RenhotecIC will guide you though the process of reproducing those modules, as well as the additional materials that are used when experimenting with the electrical circuits.

　　Step 1: Get to Know the Modules


　　Step 2: Cut the Structures of Your Modules


　　Step 3: Building "9V Battery" and "Buzzer"


　　Step 4: Building "Button" and "Potentiometer"


　　Step 5: Building "Switch"


　　Step 6: Building "LDR", "LED", and "RGB LED"


　　Step 7: Making Your Pad and Pinwheel


　　In order to start tinkering, you will need a couple of extra elements.

　　First of all, a metal pad ("metal_pad.pdf") that will help you keep the modules in place. You can print our model and use it to enclose a metal sheet.

　　Secondly, a paper pinwheel (pinwheel.pdf"). Once you've printed it, paint the dots using conductive ink or use aluminium foil to make them conductive. This will later be helpful when tinkering with the RGB LED module. Aluminium foil stripes will also be used to create connections between the modules.

　　RenhotecIC will help you to recognize more knowledge about electronic connectors and Circuit Makin.
