Random Number Generator
Define a Problem
Generate Concepts
For this project, we were to construct an electrical circuit capable of generating random numbers. Our goals were for the machine to function properly, to learn more about electrical circuits/components, and to learn how to solder.

I genuinely liked this project. It was fairly easy to due and the outcome was satisfying when it all came together to work. When I first found out about the project, I was optimistic and excited knowing that we get to physically build something. I've soldered before so it didn't seem like too much of a challenge but it definitely wasn't the easiest thing to do. One struggle I has was mixing up the positive and negative leads of the LEDs. I had to re-solder half of them because they were backwards which was a bit tricky to do. Also, I struggled with putting the chips in as they were hard to fit into their place. Overall, I did learn more about electrical circuits and components as well as further my soldering skills.
