Stop for a minute and try to imagine your world without electrical power and electronic gadgets.
No convenient appliances in the kitchen, no electric lights. No computers, MP3 players, television, or video games.
Your life would be completely different, wouldn't it? Electricity and electronics are so central to modern life that, paradoxically, they're easy to overlook.
Here are 15 of our popular electronics projects for kids! Written instructions and materials for each project are available on the Science Buddies website:

Add RGB LED lighting to your next Arduino project! This video will show you how to individually control the brightness of red, green, and blue LEDs on an analog strip so you can mix colors. Note that unlike digital strips, the LEDs on these analog strip are not individually addressable - that is a topic for a different video!
