Catamount Kids Learning to Solder

Learning to Solder with Catamount Kids

Have your kids ever done a soldering project?  Many kids enjoy soldering, and it’s a great way to encourage a fun activity that has components of arts & crafts and science/technology.  Our August Learn to Solder Camp is a perfect way to see if your child will enjoy soldering.  If your child already has some soldering experience, our camp is a great way to encourage and promote their involvement in this activity.

Kids can select 1 of 4 soldering projects

This activity is open to kids in grades 3 and up.  We will have support staff on hand to help the kids with their soldering projects.  Kids will be able to choose from 1 of 4 different soldering projects.

Choose from 1 of 4 projects:

-“Simon Says” game

-“Decision Maker” that gives a Yes/No answer to any question you ask of it

-“Metronome” for the musicians; the metronome has adjustable volume and beat, and an LED blinks to show the beat

-“Electronic Dice” that shows a number between 1 and 6 when you give it a shake

Teaching Electricity Using Snap Circuits

Catamount Kids Having Fun with Snap Circuits!

We will also use our popular Snap Circuits kits to do some general electricity projects.  Kids will learn about complete circuits, short circuits, and what happens if a circuit is incomplete.  They will get to see what happens to current flow when electrical resistance increases in both series and parallel circuits.
