Introducing The LED American Flag Soldering Kit

Possibly the First LED American Flag Designed by a
U.S. Electrical Engineer

American Flag Display

What Makes This Flag Different

  • Designed by a U.S. engineer

  • 37 independently testable circuit zones, learn and verify as you go

  • Clean topside, no exposed traces for a polished, display-worthy finish

  • Powered safely with external 24VDC power supply.

  • Comes with a complete digital learning pack: schematic, BOM, theory, assembly, and troubleshooting

This isn’t just a flag—it’s a hands-on electronics lab, a showcase of practical design, and a rewarding learning experience for students, hobbyists, and educators alike.

Not mass-produced. Not generic. Purpose-built for education, exploration, and skill-building.

Build knowledge. Build confidence. Build something you’ll be proud to display.

A dangerous misconceptions in the electronics DIY community, often heard on YouTube, forums, and blogs is the idea that wearing an ESD wrist strap protects you from electric shock.

This isn’t just incorrect, it’s a potentially deadly misunderstanding.

Failing Grades, Failing Workforce:
America’s Talent Shortage Starts in School

In the United States, millions of high-paying jobs in technology and advanced industries remain unfilled, not because the jobs don’t exist, but because we lack qualified workers to fill them. The real issue isn’t a shortage of manufacturing jobs, it’s a shortage of skilled candidates in science, technology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing.

AMERICAN CIVICS 

STEM and vocational education are more than just career pathways, they’re tools for national renewal. We need a generation that understands how systems work, how to build resilient infrastructure, how to solve real-world problems, and how to think critically about the world they’re inheriting.
