Students will create a design that includes a light-up LED feature, based on criteria designated by the teacher. They will use their chosen materials along with LEDs and copper tape to utilize light in a way that complements the design. They can work individually to prepare their tile for presentation. For presentation, all tiles can be arranged as a mosaic to display.
