ATS Club

Build working circuits and gadgets while learning how electricity powers our world.

Get Started

Overview

Our Circuits program lights up students’ imaginations as they explore the fundamentals of electricity, conductivity, and how electronic systems power our world. Through hands-on builds and creative challenges, kids learn how to design, connect, and troubleshoot real working circuits.

Using safe and engaging materials, students experiment with wires, batteries, switches, and lights to build everything from simple circuits to more complex systems. They learn the core principles of electrical flow, resistance, and energy—all while bringing their own inventions to life.

Along the way, they build confidence, sharpen problem-solving skills, and gain a powerful new way of understanding the technology all around them.
