Project 60 - Single Segment Display "K-12 JUNO STEM KIT"

What You Can Build Using K-12 JUNO STEM KIT

The "Single Segment Display" project teaches learners how to use a slide switch to operate a 7-segment display. Flipping the switch lights up a specific segment—making the basics of electronic displays clear and hands-on.

What You Can Learn

• Segment Control: Discover how a single slide switch can control one part of a 7-segment digital display.

• Display Technology: See the foundations behind the numbers and symbols on digital clocks, calculators, and instruments.

• Manual Circuit Operation: Practice connecting switches and display modules for responsive output.

Real Life Problem Solving

• Digital Devices: Understand how each segment in a display can be managed for creating numerals and indications.

• STEM Exploration: See how engineers design simple inputs to control complex displays.

• User Feedback: Relate electronic control to practical interfaces for information sharing.

Applications and Extensions

• Add more switches to control different segments for custom symbols or numbers.

• Combine with sensors or logic circuits for automatic display changes.

• Integrate with buzzers or lights for interactive projects.

Skills Developed

• Wiring slide switches and 7-segment displays.

• Troubleshooting single-segment activation circuits.

• Creative thinking in display technology and STEM design.

Real-Life Benefits

• Foundations in Electronics: Connects basic switching to everyday devices.

• Practical STEM: Bridges theoretical circuit knowledge to digital output design.

• User Experience: Enhances understanding of how devices provide visual feedback.
