    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  129
