Description

What if your doodles could glow?
Grab a pencil and become an inventor! In this fun hands-on experiment, you’ll draw your own electric circuit—yes, really, just by sketching on paper. Then we connect your drawing to a battery or even a tiny solar panel… and suddenly your lines come alive: an LED lights up!
How can a pencil drawing carry electricity? Why does it work at all? And can you make it brighter, longer, or more creative? Try it out, experiment, and surprise yourself.
Perfect for curious kids, playful minds, and anyone who wants to see science in action—no prior knowledge needed, just imagination!
Come draw, test, and light up your ideas!
