The student's final tech project is an LCD alarm clock that uses an LCD display to show the time and has an alarm function. They chose this project because their teacher suggested the idea and it seemed easy to make. To create it, the student researched how real alarm clocks work and the materials they use like LCD screens. They then coded the clock functionality using text coding with an Arduino board instead of blocks to challenge themselves.

So my final project is an LCD alarm clock and what an LCD(liquid-crystal
display) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers and are a commonly used to display data in devices such as calculators, microwave ovens, and many other electronic devices.
Why did I choose an alarm clock?
I chose an alarm clock because if i want to be honest i didn't have any
ideas until Mr. Diramio suggested the idea, so i chose it and because it sounds easy to make.
How did you make it?
First off I needed to search up how they made an alarm clock like what materials did they use, and how they use the LCD and set up the circuit. then I had to understand how they code it by using text coding not blocks because i wanted to challenge myself using texts instead of blocks.
Materials: ● Arduino Uno R3 ● Breadboard ● 1 LED ● 2 resistors ● LCD 16 x 2
