[Report] After-School Creative Project

Today, Wednesday, October 24, at the after-school program, we held a workshop titled
“Let’s Make a Glowing Surprise Card.”

Using an “AgIC” pen—which lets you draw paths for electricity to flow—we created electronic circuits,
and when we placed an LED and a button cell battery on them… they lit up!
Then, they drew pictures of Halloween, Christmas, flowers, and more on envelopes,
and when they pressed the switch, their cards lit up—and they were complete!

As they carefully thought about where and how to draw the electrical pathways
to make the LED light up,
they created cards full of their own unique personalities!

The photos show some of the creations made by the children.
*The After-School Creative Project is a program that,
to enrich the after-school experiences of many children,
holds workshops at after-school facilities
to nurture children’s creativity and imagination.
