The Best DIY STEM Tutorials and Projects
OVERVIEW
Introducing the “LED Mania” STEM Challenge🌟
In this exciting and engaging STEM challenge, young learners will embark on a creative adventure to build a vibrant LED circuit. The objective of the “LED Mania” challenge is to design and assemble a project that activates three unique LED lights using three separate push buttons. This hands-on activity will ignite the imagination of children, stimulating their interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Throughout the “LED Mania” challenge, kids will:
- Explore the fundamentals of electronic circuits and the role of components such as LEDs, push buttons, and resistors.
- Develop essential problem-solving and critical-thinking skills as they connect each push button to a corresponding LED.
- Gain practical experience in assembling and troubleshooting circuits, fostering their creativity and confidence.
- Learn the importance of teamwork and collaboration as they share ideas and work together to achieve their goal.
Upon completion of the “LED Mania” challenge, children will not only have a fascinating project to showcase their newfound skills but also a deeper appreciation for the world of electronics. So, let the LED Mania begin, and let’s inspire the next generation of innovators!

I have not received jumper wires or switches.
please share pic of the components that you have received
These things are preasent
it is not working as i think the push buttons are to small and i dont know what to do
