Low-Tech Buzzing Operation Game

Build a buzzing gameboard that teaches simple circuits — great for kids and classes!

This version uses mainly everyday household and recycled materials, and it’s easy for kids to build themselves. There’s no programming involved — just a simple paper circuit, basic components, and 3V coin battery for power.
