Blinker Bird

Blinker Bird is a soldering kit from Lectrify that walks beginners through building a real circuit with clear instructions. The board uses a multivibrator flip-flop circuit that flashes an LED and plays a tone, and the speed changes as you interact with the bird. Once it is built, decorate it and wear it as a skills badge.
