During this project, I learned about connecting circuits by building my own circuits. We started with very basic circuits and added components until we made advanced circuits and our own code. We made our own circuits and used computers to program our own code to make the circuit do something. I made a lightshow and a song for my project.
We learned how circuits work using a breadboard, wires, lights, resistors, and many other parts. We learned how electricity passes electrons to transfer energy. We learned that a circuit is a a loop of conductive material that carries energy. We used breadboards because they are a great way to make a circuit without using tools. We learned about resistors, potentiometers and other devices used to regulate electricity.
For my project, I played the song Hot Cross Buns and made lights light up also in a series. To do this, I had to code out everything:the music, the tempo, the pitch, the notes, the light sequence, the looping, looping, setup, the circuit setup, and more. This project required a lot of work and had many parts to make it work.
Concepts
V- Voltage: Potential energy difference from one side of a component to the other.
i- Current: Flow of charge through a circuit.
r- Resistance: Amount the current is slowed or resisted through an obstacle.
Ohms Law- V=ir: can be used to calculate the voltage, current, or resistance.

I worked really hard on this project. I did all the work by myself so I got good at coding, critical thinking, and focusing on work. To complete this project I couldn't waste any time because I had to complete it by myself. I worked without distraction and was able to complete an entire project by myself. Next time I would like to be at school for when we make groups because I like groupwork better than solo work.
