HACK SIOUX FALLSTEACHING KIDS ABOUT ELECTRONICS, EMBEDDEDTECHNOLOGY, AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Purchase Ticket Today (Only $159)
Twice a year, we will issue a new and creative challenge that asks kids to build their own solution to the problem. Challenges will be related to electronics and embedded engineers; for example, build a tamper-proof Christmas present or recreate Simon Says.
Challenges will have dozens of possible solutions; we want to encourage kids to think, coordinate, prototype, and build their solution. We are reinforcing critical thinking, problem-solving, working with others, and the understanding of complex solutions as part of each challenge, these are all valuable skills for our kids to learn.
We will provide each kid with all of the electronics necessary to complete the challenge.
Open to kids ages 9 through 18 (parents welcome)

Kids will learn the basics about resistors, capacitors, and LEDs. We will be leveraging all types of electronics include Arduinos, ESP8266, ultra-sound, LEDs, displays, PIR detectors, and multiplexers.
At the conclusion of the challenge, each student will be required to present and demonstrate their solution, write a build guide, and produce an explanation video.
Each challenge will have dozens of possible solutions; we want to encourage kids to think, coordinate, prototype, and build their solution to the challenge. We are reinforcing critical thinking, problem-solving, and working with others.
Our goal is to teach kids that they can build solutions, how to collaborate with others, to understand technology, and to demystify engineering as a career path.
The final schedule will be set before the event starts, this is just for general planning purposes.
First workshop, all kids will get their supplies and instructions for the challenge.
