Energy
May 1 to August 20, 2017
We're exploring the progression of energy throughout human history. From static electricity to portable smartphone chargers, we want you to have a better understanding of how harnessing energy started and where new discoveries may be taking us. We're highlighting some of our favorite circuitry resources like MakeyMakey and Arduino kits plus new tools and resources—all for hands on learning, exploration, and experimentation.
