MK101 What do the components do?

Hi

I got the MK101 kit for my 4 year old daughter and she spent the last few days on it and finished today! Works great!

However while working on it she kept asking why there are so many resistor, what the transistor is doing, and now she is asking what is controlling the blinking lights, what she can do to make them always lid rather than blink … and is kinda disappointed that I have no answers.

Is there a “read a long” explaination of what the components are doing other then just blindly following the assembly instructions without actually knowing why or how it works ? :pray:
