With Squishy Circuits, students in preschool and the early grades can enjoy a new kind of interactive learning experience. No longer is tech integration something to fear when it comes to young kids. As long as it's with the right tools, it can provide valuable learning opportunities in early education. Plus, the Group Kit (new to the Eduporium store) is perfect for STEAM experiences for up to 30 kids!
Using Squishy Circuits and its conductive dough (available in different kits or separate), students can keep early learning fun and relaxed while combining engineering and design with simple circuitry and invent with a purpose. The dough allows kids to build objects for electricity to flow through and the LEDs light up once connected. Squishy Circuits is a great way to infuse creative construction and ingenuity in early education and perfect for creating classes filled with invention and hands-on play!
Among other benefits Squishy Circuits delivers is increased collaboration, purposeful STEM development, and new levels of interactivity for young children. Plus, with viability as early on as Pre-K, teachers can encourage a new mixture of simple tech and proven results using both the Group Kit and any of Squishy Circuits' other three educational options!
With the Group Kit, however, it’s incredibly easy to integrate electronics, engineering, and design thinking into early education. Using various pieces and dough from other Squishy Circuits kits, students can develop designs that show how electricity flows through. The Group Kit is perfect for group work, accommodating up to 30 students in a school, library, or maker environment. It has over 100 pieces and empowers kids with the tools to truly develop their invention skills! If you’re looking to help kids build a STEAM foundation without overstimulating them, the Group Kit is definitely an option.
It's great for moving past mindless making and getting students inventing with purpose. Designed to make integrating STEAM in early education a breeze, Squishy Circuits combines a number of key 21st century principles and empowers children to engineer, invent, and solve problems! It's ideal for both larger classrooms and makerspaces and can help unlock key learning experiences for elementary students.
The Group Kit has over 100 components, including 80 LEDs, 10 switches, 10 motors, 10 buzzers, and 10 battery holders. With creativity also built-in, it's perfect for facilitating collaboration and getting kids working with their hands. The Group Kit is designed for teams of two or three to work together and build circuitry projects using the dough in other Squishy Circuits kits and makes a great addition to early education!
