Paperclip Puzzle

 The core component of the switch is a custom 3D-printed maze, which acts as a physical puzzle for creating an electrical connection. The tactile and playful design invites users to engage physically with the switch, treating it more like a puzzle or toy rather than a traditional functional component. To complete the circuit, users must bend a standard paper clip to fit within the maze, forming a precise contact point between two points. The circuit receives 5 volts from the Circuit Playground Express. Two 100-ohm resistors are connected in series, providing a combined 200 ohms of resistance to protect the LED from excessive current. If the paper clip bridges the gap in the maze, current flows through the blue wire to the LED and returns to the ground, illuminating the light and completing the circuit.
