To strengthen our knowledge of series vs parallel circuits,
using the multimeter, and incorporating switches, we issued our
makers some circuit building challenges: 1. Build an on/off
circuit with the least amount of batteries possible that
generates 6V 2. Build an on/off circuit with the least amount of
batteries possible that generates 1.2V at 4x the capacity of a
typical AA battery It was awesome to see some Makers diving
right in with their hands, while others chose to draw out their
circuits and perform some preliminary calculations first. My
favorite moment was noticing that one Maker solved challenge #1
in about 2 seconds…by making a circuit with a 9V battery! I love
unexpected out-of-the-box thinking…
