Pegboard Pinball Electronics Expansion Crate

New Bundle Option Available: Pegboard Pinball Crate + Electronics Expansion

Add electronic scoring, automatic extra balls, switches, sensors, and real electromagnetism to your Pegboard Pinball Crate.

STUDENTS WILL LEARN & EXPERIMENT WITH:

• Complex Circuits — design, build, and test multi‑component circuits that interact with a mechanical game
  
• Prototyping & Iteration — use real breadboards and jumper wires to build circuits the same way engineers do
  
• Magnetic Fields & Electromagnetism — wind a DIY solenoid and see how electricity creates magnetic force
  
• Electro‑Mechanical Systems — combine switches, motors, sensors, and mechanical parts to create new game features
  
• Cause‑and‑Effect — observe how the game ball triggers switches, releases extra balls, and activates scoring zones
• Engineering Design — test ideas, troubleshoot problems, and refine circuits for reliable gameplay

Mini‑lessons are adapted for each academic level (K–12) so siblings can learn together with age‑appropriate challenges.
