Explore electronics and learn about the inventor of the home security system.
A circuit is a passage for electronic current to flow, and we use hundreds of them daily. To turn on a light, increase the volume, or charge a phone. Marie Van Britton Brown, a Black nurse from New York, wanted to feel safe in her home, so she created a closed-circuit television security system (the model for all business and home security today). Using Snap Circuits, follow the step-by-step directions to build an FM radio, digital voice recorder, burglar alarm, doorbell and more.
Our Galvez location was built in 1992 under the direction of Angelle Deshautelles, Director. It was expanded & renovated in 2018.
