[Report] Elementary School Class: “Let’s Make Our Own Switches!” in Takeshiba

For the June session of the Kids Creative Lab, we welcomed Otome Dengei-bu to lead an
electronics workshop!
Program provided by: Otome Dengei-bu

💡➰ 💡➰ 💡➰ 💡➰ 💡➰

Today, we're going to make our own switch.

Let's try making an LED light up using a button cell.
When you connect the button cell to the LED…
"Oh, it lit up!"
"Huh? It's not lighting up…"
Actually, both the LED and the button cell have "positive" and "negative" terminals.
When you connect "positive" to "positive," electricity flows and the LED lights up.
