In this circuitry project, students will construct a circuit that utilizes a different form of electricity – static electricity. Students will construct a circuit that will only be completed when sources are charged (statically) and brought close to the circuit. This project will inspire the students on the topics of Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, as well as Mechatronics Engineering.
