The AT&T Classroom transformed into a makerspace this afternoon as Girls 4STEAM campers worked in teams to design paper circuits, low-voltage electronic circuits created on paper using conductive copper tape, LEDs and a coin-cell battery as the power source. Working with paper circuits combines creativity and hands-on aesthetics with opportunities to explore science concepts related to electricity and how circuits function. Additionally, such projects also engage learners in the engineering process of design, development, testing, and redesign.
