We had our boards and we used two female wires to connect LEDs to created a stop light effect. We connected our picos to our breakout board but before we did that we had to strip the wires to connect them.

The pinball project was a challenging yet rewarding experience that tested both engineering and problem-solving skills. My team and I built a pinball machine twice—first as a prototype and then as a final version—over the course of the school year. The most difficult part was coding a lever-activated button, which required multiple attempts and adjustments. Despite setbacks, we learned persistence and problem-solving, ultimately completing the project under a tight three-week deadline. The final result earned a score of 94, demonstrating our growth and determination throughout the process.
