Design, simulate, and build a simple electronic device that performs two actions. The device may serve a need at your home, or just fun to build!
Crawling Robot
Searching on Pinterest I liked this idea.
A robot that will crawl and display sound when we turn on the switch.

The action components: Motor-Buzzer(b turning the switch on the motor will spin and the buzzer will make sound.
voltage source: 9V adaptor
type of the circuit: parallel connection
Simulating the circuit on Tinkercad:
Circuit while the switch is off
Circuit while the switch is on

the whole circuit after wiring
I connected the power sources with common positive and common negative (screw terminal block)
parallel connection
I chose two rows to connect the buzzer and motor in parallel (the positive terminals of the each of the buzzer and the motor in the row on the left side in the picture, all the negative terminals on the right.
then connected the right row with common negative.
for the switch: one terminal with the left row and the other terminal with common positive to control the open and close of the circuit
connecting the buzzer and LED
common positive and negative

yellow circle -- is the buzzer
red circle -- is the power source

Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)

Falling the component while attaching them to the cardboard(enclosure step).
Solution by trail and error is to make sure that each component fixed correctly and define its size correctly using pen and paper (to sketch it on a paper) to imagine the final outcome.
adding the components as shown
