Introduction

This week, we learned about buzzer and photoresistor circuits in class, and learned some simple programming logic. Our group intends to use 3 components, photoresistor, buzzer and motor to make our circuit.

First Idea: Musical Magic Imagine a captivating music box that responds to light. When you open it, a sensitive sensor detects the change in brightness and sets the stage for a delightful melody to play. It's as if the music is awakened by the box's opening.

                                               **Musical Magic**

Second Concept: Nighttime Enchantment Now, when the box closes, it surrounds you in darkness, evoking thoughts of creatures that thrive at night. Here, you take control by manipulating the box's light sensor. You can simulate the haunting call of an owl and even control the twinkling LED stars above, creating a captivating nocturnal atmosphere.

                                             **Nighttime Enchantment**

Third Vision: The World of Bees Inspired by the nighttime theme, your mind drifts to the industrious world of bees. Occasionally, these diligent insects doze off during their busy day of collecting honey. Yet, as daytime creatures, they must finish their tasks before nightfall. In this scenario, you become an observer with a flashlight. Gently, you awaken the slumbering bees, and their world bursts to life with buzzing activity, moving flowers, and the cheerful sounds of a buzzer. It's a chance to witness the fascinating interactions of these tiny marvels.

                                                         The World of Bees

                                                     The World of Bees

In The end, we all agreed that The World of Bees was the most interesting to interact with, and a more logical fit with the circuit.
