Meeting Room ABExplore electronics and learn about the inventor of the home security system.
A circuit is a passage for electronic current to flow, and we use hundreds of them daily. To turn on a light, increase the volume, or charge a phone. Marie Van Britton Brown, a Black nurse from New York, wanted to feel safe in her home, so she created a closed-circuit television security system (the model for all business and home security today). Using Snap Circuits, follow the step-by-step directions to build an FM radio, digital voice recorder, burglar alarm, doorbell and more.
