Light Me Up Paper Bot

Create a paper robot with a functioning LED by using a simple DIY paper switch. The LED will light
up when the circuit is completed by pressing a part of the paper bot.
Materials Required:
Paper (for the robot body and limbs)

Foil strip (to create the conductive paths)
LED (to light up the robot)

Coin battery (for power)
Tape (to hold everything in place)
Follow the steps given below to light up your paper robot:

STEP - 1 Cut the paper into the shape of the robot body.

STEP - 2 Attach copper or foil strips vertically down the robot’s
chest to represent the conductive path.

STEP - 3 Attach an LED circuit to the paper at the location where
you want the robot's 'heart' to light up.

STEP - 4 Create a paper switch on the robot's body, ensuring it
touches the battery when pressed to complete contact
with the strips.

STEP - 5 Press the paper switch to light up the LED.
