Circuit Tuesday

We started the day by completing the battery building competition and finding our winner! The winning team used both a battery and the electrolyte solution to produce a voltage of over 700 mV.

Next, we had a guest lecture from Max, a PhD student at Brown, who discussed bio-inspired design in mechanical engineering.

Following his lecture, Sophia taught students how to analyze circuits in order to solve for values for resistance, voltage, and current. In order to reinforce their new knowledge, students completed a brief worksheet covering those topics.

We then had students build circuits on breadboards! The students learned how to build circuits with elements in both series and parallel.

Tomorrow we will go over programming so that by Thursday, students get to work on a project that brings together both of our electrical and computer engineering activities.
