  1. Electronics Box Compiled by Phyllis Davis, Head of Youth Services of the Matteson Public Library

  2. Basic Electronics • Exposing kids to electronics at a young age can help to interest them in STEM-related fields. • Using kits that do not require soldering is a library-friendly way to help kids develop skills. • Using “smart” kits to support learning at early stages helps kids to gain confidence and the willingness to take new risks and try new things.

  4. 2 Additional Kits donated by Elenco!

  5. 75 in 1 Electronics Lab

  6. Little Bits are a set of 10 color-coded modules that snap together magnetically to create larger circuits Photo courtesy of littlebits.com

  7. E-Textiles • This field combines sewing and electronics. • It attracts girls to electronics, computer programming, and engineering. • Sparkfun will be sponsoring Makerbox in July by providing us with E –Textile components for workshops and open makes.

  9. LilyPad (Arduino) Components

  10. Sparkfun Inventor’s Kit for Arduino Uses the same microcontroller as lilypad and requires no soldering

  11. Squishy Circuits • This project uses a non-toxic playdoh-like substance to conduct electricity. • The “dough” is made from a recipe of common household ingredients. • This is a cheap, fun, and colorful project that can be used safely with very young children.
