About 🧠&nbsp;Creative Tech: Circuit Art &amp; Codebreaking 🎨 Join us for a new adventure into creative technology as we explore the intersection of computer science, engineering, technology, and art! We&rsquo;ll learn all about circuits and make our own electric or light-up art piece, and then dip our toes into computer science to learn about how computers communicate before building translation decoders to codebreak secret messages! We&rsquo;ll finish with another unique craft - using computer code to turn our names or a fun phrase into beaded bracelets.&nbsp; Details:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">August 18th, 2026</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">At Acadia University&#39;s Biology Building in Wolfville</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">10:00 am - 3:00 pm</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">For girls and gender diverse youth ages 11-15* Updated August 16</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Pay-what-you-can, full cost is&nbsp;$50</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Maximum 12 participants</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">No prior knowledge needed!</li></ul>Activities:<ul fr-original-style="" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Intro to Circuits: we&rsquo;ll learn the basics of what electrical circuits are and how engineers work with them.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Electric Art: Using our new knowledge of circuits, we&rsquo;ll get creative and build our own &lsquo;circuitry art&rsquo;, using a watch battery, copper tape, and an LED to make a light up art piece of our own design!</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Computer Language Codebreaking: We&rsquo;ll explore how computers communicate and interpret information, learning basic binary encryption and building a translation decoder to codebreak secret messages on a computer-based scavenger hunt!&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Make Your Own Binary Bracelet: We&rsquo;ll finish with a unique craft - using computer code to turn their name or a fun phrase into a beaded bracelet!</li></ul>Participants should come prepared with a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in (for an outdoor break), a backpack, water bottle, and lunch!
