Squishy Circuits
Squishy Circuits is an outreach module developed at the University of St. Thomas by undergraduate Samuel Johnson and Dr. AnnMarie Thomas.
In this workshop, students learn about electronics through the use of play dough. Students will better understand electronics concepts and become more interested through the use of this tool. The simplest circuit to build consists of an LED, battery pack, and three small tubes of dough (two conductive and one insulating). A circuit is built by separating the two conductive tubes with the insulating tube and inserting the battery pack and LED wires into each of the conductive tubes.
