I was hired to follow given schematics and solder electrical components onto a prototyping circuit board to create a lighting board that would be used to rewire a local church's dimmable LED sconce lighting.

Perf boards are boards with lots of tiny holes to practice soldering and prototype circuits.
This is a video of me soldering on the perfboard.
The purpose of this circuit is to detect changes in temperature to tell whether someone is lying. When my fingers touch the touchpads, the energy passes through my fingers, finishing the circuit and letting the speaker emit a loud squeal.

The purpose of this circuit was to test your reflexes. First, the two blue buttons were pushed down, then, the player tries to press the black button, and then as quickly as possible with the same finger, the blue button to the right of the black button. Pushing the black button will set off a strip of LEDs. The longer before the blue button is pushed, the more LEDs that light up.
This is the parts list for this the circuit.
This is the bottom of the circuit board, which shows all of the solderings.

The purpose of this circuit was to help me practice soldering.
