Lights & Motors

Learn about electric motors, sensors, and lights by building your own automatic fans, moisture-sensing plant waterers, audio meter alerts, and screaming footballs or frisbees. You’ll build fun contraptions out of everyday items and in doing so learn about DC, servo, and stepper motors, LEDs and sensors as well as voltage, current, and basic circuitry. Please keep in mind that student interest in the topic enhances not only their experience, but also that of their fellow campers.
