    Breadboarding  Techniques:  Learning  to  build  circuits  on  a  breadboard  with  RGB LEDs and
                         resistors.

                        Understanding of Light and Color: Students will grasp how RGB LEDs can be used to create a
                         variety of colors through mixing.

                      Observations

                      In the “Mood Light” activity using a breadboard, students will observe how pressing a switch can
                      change the colors of the RGB LED. By connecting the LED’s three pins (red, green, blue) to the circuit
                      and using the switch, they can control which colors light up and create different color combinations.
                      If the LED doesn’t change colors as expected, students can check their connections and ensure the
                      switch is properly wired. This activity helps them understand how circuits work, the concept of color
                      mixing, and how to control electronic components with switches!

                      Applications

                      Ambient  Lighting:  RGB LEDs are  used  in  ambient  lighting
                      systems for homes and businesses, allowing users to adjust
                      the  color  and  intensity  of  the  lighting  to  create  different
                      atmospheres.

                                                        Entertainment Systems: RGB  LEDs are  integrated  into
                                                        entertainment setups, such as gaming rigs and home theatres, to
                                                        provide customizable lighting effects that synchronize with audio
                                                        and video content.
