C8: Blinker Circuit + PCB Soldering

Aim:
Use design thinking to create a practical use-case for a blinker.

Requirements:

  • Chart paper

  • Pencil, markers, sketch pens

  • (Optional) LED, battery, and jumper wires for mock-up

Steps:

  1. Brainstorm:

    • Think about places where blinking lights would be useful.

    • Ask: Who would benefit? What problem does it solve?

  2. Sketch Your Idea:

    • Draw the product/device and label its features.

  3. Explain the Use:

    • Write a short explanation: What does it do? Why is blinking useful here?

  4. Present:
