,听an award-winning startup education technology company founded听by two ATLAS Creative Technology听&听Design master's students Ruhan Yang and Cody Candler, both members of the ACME Lab, and a core team of six other students, including Ryan Good (TAM 鈥�18) and Joia Reeder (TAM 鈥�20), offers colorful hardware and curriculum focused on teaching students as young as six about electricity and electrical circuits. With fun, tiered groupings of lessons, some of which involve storytelling, children progressively expand their understanding of electrical concepts.听

EdBoard is inspired by a 鈥渂readboard,鈥� a device widely used in electronics for teaching, experimenting and testing circuit design. Made of opaque, monochromatic plastic and covered with hundreds of tiny holes, breadboards require fine motor skills and some knowledge of the embedded wiring in order to use them.听In contrast, EdBoards are made from听transparent acrylic with clearly visible iron rods running the length and width of the board. Kits include听colorful components equipped with magnetic posts and illustrated circuit diagrams that slide under boards, mapping out circuits and setting up problems.听

Preliminary studies indicate that novice students are able to comprehend certain electrical engineering concepts more quickly when using EdBoards than with standard breadboards.
