On our trip to Hughenden, the outback dinosaur town known for its rich prehistoric heritage, our first workshop was an amazing opportunity for kids to get hands-on with circuits and creativity. It was an electrifying day filled with learning, fun, and imagination, as the young minds delved into the world of interactive games and circuitry.
The primary goal of the day was for the children to learn the basics of circuits by building their own interactive game. The game, which was buzzing with excitement, required the kids to move a circle along a wire without triggering the buzzer. This engaging activity not only challenged their problem-solving skills but also sparked their interest in the world of electronics and engineering.
But it wasn't all about circuits; the kids were encouraged to flex their creative muscles too. They were tasked with adding a unique theme to each game, complete with twists and turns that made the challenge even more interesting. The blend of art and technology allowed them to bring their artistic flair to the table, resulting in an array of colorful and imaginative creations that captured the essence of their individuality.
Watching the children work together, brainstorming ideas, and ultimately creating their own distinct, themed games was truly inspiring. Their enthusiasm and passion for learning were evident, and it was clear that this hands-on experience left a lasting impression on them. We left Hughenden with a newfound appreciation for the power of creativity and the importance of nurturing young minds to explore the world around them.
