C8: Blinker Circuit + PCB Soldering
  1. Understand where blinker circuits are used in daily life

    • Blinkers are found in car indicators, emergency alarms, traffic lights, and toys.

    • They are used to grab attention, give warnings, or show that something is working.

  2. Why blinking lights are useful in certain situations

    • Blinking draws the eye more than a steady light.

    • For example, a blinking red light on a roadside barrier warns you of danger better than a steady one.

  3. How to think like an innovator and design your own application

    • Think about your school, home, or community—where could blinking lights help?

    • You’ll learn to sketch your idea and explain how it solves a real problem.

  4. Turn an idea into a design concept

    • You’ll learn how to visualize and present an idea, like an inventor pitching a product.

    • You don’t need a working model—just a clear idea, drawing, and explanation.
