Electronics Technology

In technology this term we have been making Emergency Lights. For the front of our Emergency Light we had to choose a disney character to go on the front of our light. As I love cats so much, I chose to do Cheshire Cat. After that, we had to choose three key attributes for making our light. Mine were Parallel Circuit, Bright Lights and Portable. We then had to write why and how the key attributes help when making the light. After that we started making it. We had to drill holes where we wanted our LEDs to be. Then, we had to start making our parallel circuit with the LEDs.
*Many Soldering Burns Later*
After we finished making the circuit with the soldering iron, we needed to connect the 9 volt battery to the circuit. Soon enough, my Emergency Light started working.
Electronics Technology was really fun and I really liked making the Emergency Light, though next time I won't put the LEDs so close to the edge.
