<div class="gmail_extra">Hey Richard-</div><div class="gmail_extra">Yeah that was the first workshop I ran for the kids at the Lowertown Community Resource Centre last year for Artengine! Such a cool project and Dr. Thomas is an awesome resource for people interested in teaching kids technology and engineering concepts. Thanks for sharing!</div>

<br>
This is something I came across just recently that just screamed ModLab.<br>
Squishy Circuits are a way of teaching kids about electricity in a way<br>
that seems to totally appeal to them.<br>
<br>
I'd be very surprised if Emily hasn't already come across it, but<br>
thought I'd mention it just in case it slipped through the cracks. I<br>
hadn't remembered it being mentioned here.<br>

Here's the TED talk:<br>
