Final Project: Elephant Stage
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…
Joanna Kim – Final Project: Edelweiss
My final project was a refined version of our last assignment. I created five flowers that light up according to the different notes that are played in the song from The Sound of Music, “Edelweiss.” My target audience would be people who can read music, as I would ideally want to have an instrument and…
Final Project: EL oh EL wired shoes (aka twingle toes)
For my final project I wanted to make use of something that I already own and utilize EL wire since it’s not really a common material. I found some green boots that I thrifted in the past and decided to spice them up with some graphic designs. Materials: Pink EL wires (amazon) Green boots…
How To Create a Musical Stuffed Animal Using Temperature
I was always interested on how musical stuffed animals were made, so I decided to try it for myself 🙂 The successful goal of this project was to create a conducted system that would react to temperature. The reaction being different colors and songs for a certain temp. Once the stuffed animal is squeezed, a…
Final Project: Motion controlled drawing arm
My final project is a servo motor drawing arm controlled by an arduino using motion. The idea is for the arm to follow motion from your hand, which then gets drawn out. A secondary part of the project also gives a digital representation of your motion controlled drawing on processing. Materials: Circuit Playground Express 2…

Three Feedback Questions
Three Feedback Questions Mackenzie Carlson The three questions I’d like the most feedback on concerning my Interactive Assignment would have to be: How can I make my project more aesthetically pleasing? Are there any ways that I can make my project safer to use? Can I add any features to what I have already to…
The commuter ride a.k.a The spinning Machine – Daniel Barrera
If you’ve ever been to the museum of Science and Industry then most likely you have come across their giant miniature scale model of Chicago that comes with working model trains that go from the city to the countryside. If you travel to the city frequently like myself then most likely you have taken public transportation…
