• Problem: "How can I control the glowing of an LED using a push button?"
• Solution: "I will use a breadboard to connect an LED with a resistor and a push button, along
with jumper wires, to control the LED's glow."
• Components:
o Breadboard
o 1 Resistor
o 9V Battery
- Connect a jumper wire from Strip A to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Connect the positive leg to Strip C and the negative leg to Strip D.
- Connect a jumper wire from Strip D to the negative terminal of the battery.
Start
Insert first jumper wire into positive rail Place push button
Place resistor

• Enjoyment: I enjoyed pressing the push button to control the LED and observing how it only
lights up when pressed.
• Challenge: I found it a bit tricky to correctly connect the push button and jumper wires on the
breadboard.
• Feedback: This project helped me understand how a push button works in a circuit to control the
LED, giving me more confidence in working with input devices.
