CIRCUIT CARDS: LIGHT UP YOUR DESIGN!
Saturday, February 8 | 10 AM - 12 PM
Join us for a fun and creative workshop where you can design your own greeting cards with a twist! In this hands-on session, Makers will learn about simple circuits and how to light up their cards with an LED to add that extra "wow factor." It’s the perfect way to build your STEM skills and send a thoughtful message to brighten someone’s day! Pre-registration required, open to ages 8+
