STIIX Stoplight Project

• Grades: 6-8
• Number of Students: 8-24, 15-45
• Hours of Content: 2
• Additional Resources: Lesson Plan

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around STOPLIGHTS before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 

Students will apply principles of electrical circuits, sequencing, and design to build a functioning model stoplight using LEDs and basic wiring. 

Set in the rapidly expanding city of STIIX-Ville, students take on the role of electrical engineers tasked with helping develop a safer, more efficient traffic system. Through this real-world simulation, students will explore circuitry, logic flow, and infrastructure needs while documenting their engineering process and evaluating the performance of their traffic light systems.
