| The purpose of this teachers meeting was to look at the Night Light project. This novel circuit for an automatic night light which can be the basis of really exciting and innovative KS3 project work. Night lights have become common place in the school curriculum. They are usually inexpensive and can make an excellent vehicle for teaching the basics of electronics. During the meeting teachers had the opportunity to construct a Night Light circuit, study how it works and identify opportunities for electronics teaching (appropriate for KS3). They also laser cut a piece of acrylic to mount the circuit on. |
Each teacher attending the meeting was sent a set of 10 night light kits to experiment with in their school.
