Dough & Squishy Circuits

Math, science, and fine motor play.

Little Dough-nuts strengthens fine motor skills and early STEM; Squishy Circuits uses conductive dough to teach electricity.

What students do

Every session is hands-on and project-based. Students collaborate with a vetted teaching artist, work through structured challenges, and leave with something they made — a model, a recording, a portfolio piece, a finished dish, or a performance.

Who it's for: Students curious about Dough & Squishy Circuits who learn best by building, making, and doing.
