| Description | Light is a very important and inseparable part of our lives. Humanity is not relying only on the Sun or fire for a long time. We have discovered the power of electricity several decades ago. And with it, there come the first lightbulbs. But nowadays, even those are not enough. We are still trying to come up with better, more effective, or economical solutions. Almost everyone at least once heard about LED. LED lights are not used only as a simple light source. After iconic "neons", LED lights found their place in the advertisement, in cars, in bars, or at home to light kitchen units, stairs, or as a design accessory. Nowadays, LED strip is very affordable, and it is also easy to install. But it is clear, that LED stripe doesn't consist of LEDs of every single color. So, how we can change its color? In my work, I make a simple didactic and technical tool, which is suitable not only for elementary schools. This work includes the usage of solderless contact area, which is a great learning tool suitable also for beginners. It also includes a didactic part, in which the student is able to verify the circuit correctness, as well as try to change or regulate the color of light. I believe, that implementing projects like this in elementary schools can motivate students to study technical programs in the future. |
