Washougal — The Washougal School District and Washougal Community Library partnered on a workshop to help students learn about circuits, conductors and electricity.

During the workshop, students worked with Makey Makey and Squishy Circuits kits. The Makey Makey kit features a circuit board that allows students to operate simple programs by connecting everyday objects to a computer.

The workshops have been held for elementary, middle and high school students, and supplies came from the Washington State Library and Fort Vancouver Regional Library. Hillary Marshall, Washougal High School’s library media specialist, came up with the idea for the workshops.
