called “RGB LED with Potentiometers”.The activity had the scout participants build and test a circuit with a RGB LED, one 220 Ω resistor,and a potentiometer. T h e n they connected a power supply to power this circuit. The scout wouldthen rotate the screw of the pot to see if the LED brightness changed. Depending on what pin thepot was attached to (R, G or B), the LED would have that color. As the wiper ranged from 0 V to5 V, the LED should go from dark to bright.Figure 5 shows the circuit connection.Manufacturing Engineering WorkshopIn the manufacturing workshop, participants have the opportunity to operate a lathe to createdifferent parts, such as a bowling pin or a chess piece pawn.
