Groove on over to the Groovy Lab in a Box website to check out It’s Electric, now available as a single box, and join the Engineering Design Challenge.

Here’s how the challenge works: You are a groovy electrical engineer who has been contracted by the latest groovy dance group. Using only the materials from your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build a dance pad with specific criteria and constraints?

Investigate static electricity, origin and structure of the atom, paper circuits, switches, a groovy door alarm to keep any trespassers out of your room and explore various science and engineering practices aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.

Don’t forget: Every Groovy Lab in a Box comes with a retro-themed Lab Notebook where STEMists will take notes, draw pictures, redesign their engineering projects and apply their critical thinking skills. Plus, all groovy STEMists get access to the Beyond…in a Box web portal for additional learning and fun!

It’s Electric is designed for kids ages 8 and up.
