Mr. Hurst’s Electronic Applications course at the high school demonstrated their soldering skills by creating a functioning simple circuit using several components and wire, lots of practice in cutting and stripping wire, soldering wire and components together.

The goal was to have an organized and functioning double rainbow shaped electrical circuit with a battery, six LEDs, a resistor and wire pieces, stripped and trimmed and soldered together using the hook splice method, then to double it for the extra practice.

Hook Splice – *NASA workmanship standard term* –  bend each wire or component into a small hook, then clamp them tight together once hooked up, then solder
