8. The acceptable amount of variation in a measurement or size during manufacturing.
12. Joining metals together by melting a filler metal (solder) to create an electrical connection.
13. A graphical diagram used to plan the steps in a program or process.
14. Device: A component that produces an action or response (e.g., LED, buzzer, motor).
16. A small programmable device that controls inputs and outputs in electronic projects (e.g., Micro:bit, Arduino).
17. Identifying and fixing problems in circuits, code, or mechanical systems.
18. Using computer-controlled machines (like laser cutters or CNC routers) to make parts.

1. Materials that allow electricity to flow easily (e.g., copper).
2. Materials that do not allow electricity to flow easily (e.g., plastic).
3. Properties: Characteristics of materials (e.g., strength, flexibility, hardness) that influence how they are used.
4. A system of moving parts that changes motion or force (e.g., gears, cams, levers).
5. A working model of a product used to test ideas and functions before final production.
6. Device: A component that detects changes in the environment (e.g., switch, sensor, push button).
7. Software used to design, draw, and model products digitally.
9. Designing and making in ways that reduce environmental impact and conserve resources.
10. Printing: Creating objects by building them layer by layer from digital models.
11. Designing products so they are comfortable and easy for people to use.
15. A path through which electricity flows.
