Traffic Light
Build a real working traffic light that cycles red, yellow and green β your first timing project.
Ask a parent, teacher, or trusted adult before building, powering a circuit, using tools or batteries, or buying parts. Purchases are optional and at your own cost. If anything gets hot, smells burnt, leaks, swells, sparks, or moves unexpectedly, switch off or disconnect power without touching the damaged or hot part, then tell an adult. Read safety rules
Start with a green dot if this is your first circuit. Each project tells you exactly what you need, how long it takes and what you will learn along the way.
Ask a trusted adult to check your parts and help with your first real circuit. You never need to buy anything to use the free simulator.
