Electronics Web Series Features Puppets, Gadgets, and Science

Collin Cunningham gained some notability on YouTube thanks to his series on the MAKE Magazine channel, where he gave tutorials on how to construct various electronic parts. A second series where he “shares his adventures in science, sound, and electronics” continued his online video success. Now, Cunningham is back for a third go-round, but he’s got a new target for his engineering acumen: children. Cunningham is one of the creative forces behind Circuit Playground, a web series that teaches kids about science with the help of some colorful puppets.

Circuit Playground, which is hosted on the YouTube channel of electronics company Adafruit

, is based off a children’s comic book of the same name, which allowed kids to color in science concepts. The web series uses a similar lettering motif, with the first episode, ‘A is for Ampere’, discussing electric current. Cunningham shows up as Andre-Marie Ampere himself and gives a spirited performance for the kiddies.

There may only be room for one kid-friendly science show in my heart, but for a new generation, Circuit Playground is light-hearted and informational.
