Paper circuits w/ copper tape

Paper circuits w/ copper tape
You can quickly create circuits on paper using copper tape, clear tape, and some simple electronics. The image above is from a workshop Jie taught at the Exploratorium museum. Components (available from Digi-Key): Other tools & materials: small binder clipsclear tapecard stock paperscissors or an xacto knife and cutting mattweezerssoldering iron + solder (optional) Getting started You can use the templates we’ve created to guide your initial explorations. Electrical connections Electrical connections between the LEDs, switches, and battery are made with copper tape (shown in grey in the templates). Battery connection To secure the battery and create electrical connections between it and the copper tape, fold a corner of the page over and clip it around the battery using a binder clip or a paper clip: LED connection Surface mount LEDs, shown as yellow rectangles on the templates, are teeny tiny and can be challenging to work with at first, but aren’t bad once you get the hang of it.

Share it! Science : DIY Paper Circuit Board Games If you're looking for an activity that can keep kids engaged indoors for hours (literally) then you definitely want to try building your own light-up board games using paper circuits. This is a great STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) activity because through the process, your children or students will put their creative powers to use designing the game and board, learn the ins and outs of electric circuits, plus- design, test and tweak their light-up circuits like an engineer. When I was teaching in the science classroom I used "design your own board games" every year with my 4th and 5th graders as a way to review at the end of the term. Kids love building games, and they worked hard to make the games challenging for their classmates, which meant they really reviewed the material accurately to do so. I always had to incorporate extra time into my plan for building the games and the culminating game tournament. Paper Circuit Board Game Materials Build a Board Game All

Paper Circuit Cards | Technology for Kids • The Science Kiddo Making paper circuit cards is the perfect union of science, technology, art, and design. For that reason, this activity fits perfectly into any STEAM or STEM curriculum at school, for library events, or just for fun at home. Let kids unleash their creativity as they experiment with paper circuit art and create a unique card that really lights up! Awesome Science Experiments for Kids *This post contains affiliate links. Please see our disclosure policy. If you enjoy making paper circuit cards you are going to LOVE my new book, AWESOME SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS FOR KIDS. Making paper circuits is one of the 20 experiments in the Technology chapter of the book! Be sure to scroll to the end of this post where you will find a link to the popular 28 Days of STEAM series going on this month! Just a few short years ago I was actually really intimidated by circuits. Luckily I have a son who loves circuits, programming, and building. Making paper circuit cards is nothing to intimidated by.

The Great Big Guide to Paper Circuits Favorited Favorite 13 Introduction Paper circuits are becoming more and more popular in the hobby electronics world. The easy availability of craft-like materials and increasing abundance of new products has created a really unique ecosystem for crafters looking to make the leap to electronics projects. This guide is an overview of materials and techniques available to paper circuit crafters. What is a Paper Circuit? A paper circuit is a functioning electronic circuit built on a paper surface instead of a PCB. Suggested Reading Before we begin crafting, here few concepts you should be familiar with: Creating Traces: Overview A trace is a path that takes the place of wiring, most commonly seen on a printed circuit board. The green lines on this PCB are the traces connecting parts of the board. Conductive Tape Traces Conductive tape is one of the easiest ways to get started crafting a paper circuit.

Resources Favorited Favorite 5 Here are the templates used in the Have Fun with Paper Circuitry workshop at the GESTEM (Girls Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) event on 5/9/2014. This workshop taught simple paper circuitry and a basic understanding of how circuits work using copper tape, a coin cell battery, a LilyPad Button Board and an LED. No soldering required. Printable templates and instructions are included in the attached PDF. The lotus card template is based on a design by Robert Saluda.
