Test. Troubleshoot. Create.\n\nJoin M etrobots\, the PAST Foundation\, SenseICs Corporation\, and the IEEE Colum bus SSCS & CASS Joint Chapter for a hands-on workshop where students explo re electronics by building\, testing\, and troubleshooting circuits on sol der-less breadboards!\n\nFull Event Description:\n\nReady to make the spoo ky season electric? Spooky Circuitry Lab is a hands-on workshop designed f or middle and high school students to dive into practical electronics. Par ticipants will learn how components like LEDs\, resistors\, photoresistors \, and 555 timers work together to solve Halloween-themed circuit design c hallenges—from glowing pumpkin eyes to screaming sound circuits!\n\n🚀 Part of a Multi-Part Microelectronics Engineering Series:\n\nThis worksho p marks Step 1 in an exciting multi-event educational series designed to t ake students through the entire hardware design lifecycle:\n\n- Circuits F undamentals (This Workshop): Build\, test\, and troubleshoot physical circ uits with discrete components on breadboards.\n- PCB Design: Learn CAD too ls (like KiCad) to translate physical breadboards into functional schemati c representations and custom Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).\n- Integrated Circuit (Chip) Design: Discover how large circuit boards can be scaled dow n and miniaturized onto tiny silicon microchips!\n\nWho Should Join:\n\nMi ddle and high school students (ages 12–18) interested in STEM\, robotics \, and engineering. No prior electronics experience is required!\n\nLocati on & Details:\n\n- Date & Time: October 28\, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ED T\n- Location: PAST Foundation\, 1003 Kinnear Rd\, Columbus\, OH 43212\n- Sponsors: The PAST Foundation\, Metrobots\, SenseICs Corporation\, and IEE E Columbus Joint Chapter (SSCS/CASS)\n\nFree for everyone!
