For my final project I decided to do an elephant on a stage that lights up and plays music. You would put the elephant on a button and a sensor would make an Led strip light up and play music. I was inspired to create this by old cartoon shows and circus shows.

Materials:

• Cardboard
• Construction paper
• Hot Glue gun
• Tape
• Toy plush
• Arduino
• Aligator clips
• Button
• Led strip

Step 1:

Cut out and glue cardboard into shape of a box. or for more stability, use a shoe box. Decorate Box as you please, I used paper.

Step 2:

Program Arduino with desired music. I choose the disney song one upon a dream. I individually programmed each note into the code. However, you can choose whatever song you’d like to do that can be found online.

step 3:

Connect alligator strips from arduino to button, speaker, and Led strip. See picture for reference.

Step 4:

Put the arduino and the alligator wires inside the box, and the led strip outside the box. The button should go on top. This is what it should look like:
