Middle school electrical engineers design a maze out of wire and connect it in a circuit to a noise-making or lighting device. The idea is to string a paperclip along the wire without touching it along the way. The noise-maker or light is activated whenever the paperclip touches the wire, thus completing the electric circuit. This rather simple activity makes learning about circuits a little more fun!
