Flip Flop: soldering challenge!

Have you ever wondered why some lights only work when you tilt them? Build your own flip-flop and discover how a tilt sensor converts movement into an electrical signal. By experimenting with switches, connections and simple logic, you’ll discover how a small change can cause an entire circuit to respond. A hands-on experiment exploring the basic principles behind signals and algorithmic thinking.

Have you ever wondered why some lights only work when you tilt them? Build your own flip-flop and discover how a tilt sensor can interrupt an electrical circuit. Inside the sensor is a small metal ball which, when tilted, makes or breaks the connection. You’ll build the circuit on a PCB or directly using individual components, learning as you go how switches, sensors and simple electronics work together.
