Description

Brian’s Section #2 projects will be:

Day 1: Build an LED tester. We’ll learn how to control electricity by building a circuit that causes an LED to glow. (Light Emitting Diode).
Day 2: Build a door alarm. We’ll learn how to us a special magnetically controlled switch to create a door alarm.
Day 3: Build a “glowing eyes” circuit. Transistors make modern electronics possible. We’ll learn how to use a transistor to cause two glowing LED eyes to light up as a room gets darker.
Day 4: Build an LED blinker. We’ll learn how to use an integrated circuit chip to blink two LEDs back and forth.
Day 5: Build a siren. We’ll learn how to use two integrated circuit chips to generate a two-tone siren.
