Circuits

I found this great website all about circuit projects. The projects generally are pretty intricate and are designed for practical uses, like a garage door opener or a battery powered USB charger. There are also extremely complicated projects, like building your own portable MP3 player or designing a xbox laptop. Some projects would be really cool to implement in a classroom, like making animated necklaces out of LEDs. 



But for those who need simpler designs..



For teaching young kids or people who know nothing about circuits, there are websites like this one that give basic instructions on how to make a circuit. There are also many website like Snap Circuits and Home DIY Electronics that use simple circuits to create fun projects for kids and teens. The projects on these websites (like and LED motion detector and a transistor touch switch) range from beginner to intermediate circuitry work and are a great way to get students excited about electricity. Then if they want to continue experimentation with circuitry, more advanced websites like Circuit Projects could be recommended.
