Day 15: Creative Day 3 - Control System

Creative Days are free-build days. No new mission, no new wiring diagram — today the lab is yours. Take the components and skills you’ve unlocked so far and build something of your own design.

Built something today? Put it in the Workshop.

Community Projects is where makers share their real builds — photos, a short write-up, and how it works. Your Creative Day build belongs there (yes, even a simple one).
