Most homemade electronics projects these days call for the use of integrated circuits (ICs). If you’ve never built such a project before, these strange looking multi-legged gizmos can be quite intimidating. This brief introduction to ICs will teach you everything you need to know to build IC-based circuits with confidence.
If you’re looking for a tail-kicking science project or you need help with a project you’re already working on, check out my Super Science Project Support Center at SciFair.org.
