🔧 Lantern Prototype Build

Teams construct a first working lantern mockup using cardstock or recycled materials, LEDs, batteries, copper tape or wire, and switches. Students test the circuit as they build, record simple measurements or observations about brightness and failure points, and revise component placement when the model does not perform as predicted. Each team also drafts exhibit labels that explain how the physical design represents censorship, conformity, memory, or questioning.
