STIIX Stoplight Project Grades: 6-8 Number of Students: 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. What's Included: LED Lights Wood Bases Foam Towers Foam Horizontal Pieces Batteries Wires with Clamps Strip Copper Tape How-To Sheets Hot Glue Mini Screwdriver Newspaper Sheets STIIX Starter Bin includes: Low-Temp Glue Guns: Reliable tools for sturdy builds. Protective Safety Gloves: To keep those future engineers safe while they work. Scissors: Durable enough to handle project materials with ease. "STEM-VP" Stickers: The ultimate badge of honor for your students.
