In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

Circuit Bending with Play-Doh
Source Institutions
Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

Motor Learning
Source Institutions
In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

Simple Spinner
