Electronics that help others: 7th grade design thinking

In 7th grade science during the electronics unit the students learn about circuits, LEDs, Ohms law, resistors, and switches. They also interviewed faculty to find out what problems they had in their daily work. From those interviews they brainstormed possible electronics projects to assist the faculty. The results? A wide variety of gadget prototypes, some experimenting with littlebits, a lot of soldering, electrical tape, wire stripping, and batteries, and some design-thinking experience under our belts.
