Advanced projects can typically be completed with 2-5 tools. Assembly can be completed in 60-90 minutes. We recommend this project for students ages 11+.
Objective: Build a desk lamp
Students will use basic electrical 110V skills to build a desk lamp. Students will have an opportunity to get creative and paint their desk lamp, making them a perfect gift or nightstand reading light.
