HANDS-ON PROJECT


                 PROJECT NAME: Electronic Greeting Card

                 Objective:
                    ∑  Design and build an interactive electronic greeting card that lights up using basic circuitry.

                    ∑  Develop hands-on skills in assembling and simulating circuits through TinkerCad.

                    ∑  Foster creativity by integrating technology with personalized card designs.

                 Step-By-Step Instructions:

                 1.  Open TinkerCad:
                         Launch Adobe Illustrator and create a new document (800 x 800 pixels for logo).

                 2.  Simulate the Circuit in TinkerCad:

                         Drag the following components to the workspace:
                         ◦    1 LED.

                         ◦    1 Coin Cell Battery (CR2032).

                         ◦    1 Switch (you can use a simple pushbutton).
                         ◦    Wires or a breadboard.

                         Connect the components:

                         ◦    Connect the longer leg (anode) of the LED to the positive terminal of the battery.
                         ◦    Connect the shorter leg (cathode) to the negative terminal of the battery.

                         ◦    Insert the switch in the circuit to control the LED.
                         Start the simulation:

                         ◦    Click the “Start Simulation” button.

                         ◦    Test the circuit by toggling the switch. Ensure the LED lights up when the circuit is
                             completed.
                 3.  Gather Physical Materials:

                         After successful simulation, gather the following:

                         ◦      A thick sheet of cardstock or a printed greeting card.
                         ◦      1 LED (any color).

                         ◦      1 coin cell battery (e.g., CR2032).

                         ◦      Copper tape or wires.
                         ◦      A small switch (optional, can use a foldable flap of the card).

                         ◦      Tape or glue.



                                                                                 Robotics: A Journey into Automation  123
