Circuits and Clay at Guidepost Montessori in Reston

🌟 Circuits and Clay

This hands-on program introduces young learners to the basics of circuits and electricity through creative building with soft clay and simple electrical components. Designed for curious builders ages 3–6, students explore how power flows by shaping, connecting, and testing their own creations. Lights turn on. Buzzers sound. Ideas come to life.

Each session focuses on a simple challenge. Children build, test, adjust, and try again. Learning happens through play, exploration, and guided discovery. No screens. Full hands-on engagement.

Through supported projects and group activities, students build confidence, curiosity, and early engineering thinking while having fun.
