Circuit Cove
Level 1: The basics
Loops, switches, paths and staying safe.
Mission 1 · LoopsLight Sully's tentLearn: A circuit is a closed loop
Mission 2 · LoopsPennyworth's night lightLearn: LEDs only work one way round
Mission 3 · ControlRuby's doorbellLearn: A button opens and closes the loop
Mission 4 · ControlAcorn's fanLearn: A switch keeps the loop open or closed
Mission 5 · PathsDeeno's party lightsLearn: In series, parts share one path
Mission 6 · PathsBamboo's two roomsLearn: In parallel, each part has its own path
Mission 7 · SafetyBolts' battery troubleLearn: Short circuits skip the parts and make batteries hotMission 8 · Build itRuby's alarmLearn: One switch can control a whole circuitGadget Grove
Level 2: More parts, bigger circuits
Logic, resistors, sensors, and builds with lots of parts.
Mission 9 · LogicJeffrey's rocket launchLearn: Switches in a row make an AND: all of them must be on
Mission 10 · LogicTwiggy's hallway lightLearn: Switches side by side make an OR: any one of them will do
Mission 11 · ResistanceSparkz's sleepy barnLearn: A resistor slows the power downMission 12 · ResistanceBamboo's movie nightLearn: A dimmer knob changes how much it slows the power
Mission 13 · SensorsDeeno Kid's camp lightLearn: A sensor is a switch that the world turns onMission 14 · SensorsBolts' banana keyboardLearn: A touch pad is a switch your finger closesMission 15 · Big buildsAcorn's traffic lightLearn: Big circuits are lots of small loopsMission 16 · Big buildsSully's quiz showLearn: Paths can split apart and join back togetherPower Peak
Level 3: Power, fixing and smart sensors
Make your own power, fix broken circuits, and build gadgets that switch themselves.
Mission 17 · PowerBolts' camping fanLearn: A hand crank turns your work into powerMission 18 · PowerTwiggy's garden fountainLearn: Solar panels make power only in sunlightMission 19 · Fix itFix Ruby's porch lightLearn: Fix a circuit one check at a timeMission 20 · Fix itJeffrey's doorbell won't stopLearn: A wire that skips a part lets power go around itMission 21 · Fix itDeeno's arcade signLearn: Fix the dangerous problem firstMission 22 · Smart sensorsSully's cookie jar alarmLearn: A motion sensor switches on when something movesMission 23 · Smart sensorsAcorn's treehouse roofLearn: A rain sensor lets water close the circuitMission 24 · Smart sensorsPennyworth's smart porchLearn: Two sensors in a row make a smart AND
