Dec 21: The Circuit Studio Camp
Close the circuit, light the card, and start the Lantern Avenue. | 1 Day Camp
About the Class
THE LIBRARY (2062 Lincoln) | Monday, December 21, 2026 Today your Maker builds a circuit that works. The Circuit Studio is a one-day pass into Day 1 of The Gift Forge, our four-day gift-making week at The Library — same cohort, same room, same staff. Each Maker ties on a canvas Maker's Apron, invents a personal Maker Mark, and walks into the LED Lab to build a working light-up greeting card: copper tape, a coin-cell battery, a real LED with real polarity, and real diagnose-and-fix when a circuit won't close. Then, on the count of three, every Maker closes their circuit at once and the room fills with glowing cards — First Light. After park lunch and capture-the-(gift-wrapped)-flag at Littlejohn, the afternoon is the Lantern Frame Build: each Maker constructs the bones of a paper lantern — base, translucent panels, vented top — the first stage of the Lantern Avenue installation that will light the Library hallway on Christmas Eve. Every Maker heads home with a glowing card ready to give and the Circuit Spark badge pinned to their apron. Underneath the glow: series circuits, polarity, and the patience to debug something until it lights.
