Toy Hacking is a fun and playful way to learn how circuits work.Starting with used electronic toys, toy hackers carefully examine then safely take the toys apart to learn how they work.
Participants explore both the simplicity and complexity of these toys and their unique circuits and are shown how to identify inputs, outputs and power. We’ll experiment with circuit bending and reverse engineering while we reimagine and reinvent the toys with materials on hand. This event is mainly for kids 6 and up but interested adults are encouraged to participate.
