Legos: Lego education has curriculum ranging from preschool to high school. Using Legos early can help lead students down a path of engineering. This material is also great for a prototyping structure that is scalable and can be taken apart when complete.
Playdoh: This makerspace material is primarily used for squishy circuits. In these types of circuits you use playdoh to form an insulating layer and a conductive layer to explain electricity. This video shows it in action https://youtu.be/L8bvNHhlK30
Batteries For Projects (CR2032): These batteries are used in countless projects to power LEDs. Its best to buy in bulk.
Copper Foil Tape: This tape is made of thin pure copper so its extremely flexible and can take on nearly any shape. You can solder to it, and the tape can carry current like a wire. Copper tape is great for making paper circuits and with use of circuit stickers.- Sewing supplies (Needles, thread, scissors, fabric)
- Ribbon, yarn, string
- Duct Tape
- All types of paper (Wrapping paper, card stock, construction paper, printer paper, scrapbook)
