This was a good refresher on using LEDs in a breadboard, and also using resistors, switches and Arduinos.As we did this last year in Art and Design, we knew most of the stuff, but we still watched the videos to make sure our knowledge was up to par. We learned how to use a switch to determine when the lights go on and off, as we never did that last year. We took the breadboard lesson on multiple LEDs to the extreme, plugging in 12 LEDs to the breadboard. Once we were introduced to the 9 Volt battery, we blew out a flew lights to show the importance of resistors in a circuit. We were going to do the RGB light, the LED with quad prongs, but we ran out of time.

All in all, this was a very fun and revitalizing experience.

(P.S. If you could help us help the chair revolution by blinking the lights when it’s all clear, that would be great. Contact me for more information.)
