A torch is an essential tool at the campus. Many of us buy them, use them and throw when not working. We also have many nonworking torches. This brought a need to understand torch. A session was announced to understand torch.

Maybe wire carries the charge?
Maybe motherboard sends the signal?

Making our own diagram allowed us to play with our own circuits of our own torches.
