Automatic Street Light
In a Kigali street-light teaching model, turn the LED ON below 30% brightness; OFF at 30% and above. Brightness is normalized 0–100%, not lux.

Build Your Own Mini Project
Choose one bounded project: Blink (three ON/OFF cycles, 1 second each), Street Light (LED ON below 30%, OFF at/above), or Irrigation Indicator (reservoir ≥20% AND temperature >30°C). Complete its observed rubric; other inventions are practice only.
