Exploring Light and Color Through Circuit Design
by Abraham Rosengard
In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will have the opportunity to explore light and color theory by building their own adjustable color mixing circuit with an RGB LED. Variable resistors will allow real-time control of red, green, and blue elements to create diverse color palettes for analysis and discussion. Students will be challenged to follow the instructions via a functional design schematic created on TinkerCAD and create their own real RGB LED circuit.
