Introduction

We see many different displays and signs in our everyday lives. They are used for many purposes, but usually, they help us communicate by passing on information clearly.
They can help people:-
keep out of danger;
find out about a special offer;
find where to go (or not to go!);
know what to do;
or perhaps, discover an interesting new fact.

Making signs or displays more noticeable can be very fun and sometimes very important.
We can make signs stand-out and have more impact by adding simple electrical circuits. These can introduce light, sound or movement and by the use of suitable switches made interactive.


Getting Started

The "QuickLinks" to the left and above, will help you find out about electrical circuits. When you are looking through this information, think how it could be used to make your display or sign more "eye-catching".

By looking at the examples in the picture above, you can also get ideas about who would find the sign useful. Also consider where your display or sign might be used. School or home could be a good starting point for this.

When you have done this, click on the Home button (top left) and select "TrackLayer" where you can start to design your electrical circuit.
