1) Found a box that opens and closes to signify a door 2) added conductive tape to the edge of the box so that when it opens it touches the wire and coducts electricity to the battery therefore closing the circuit 3) linked 4 LED’s like protestors protecting the message “give us your huddled masses”…

Ewelina Rusek – Creative Switch
Light-up Toy Car For my Creative Switch Project, I made a toy car that has light-up LED headlights. As the car moves forward, the circuit becomes closed and the LEDs turn on. 1. First, design the shape of the toy car you want to make (or, you can find some toy wooden cars online). Then,…

LED Shoe Start with a pair of shoes. Preferably one with a tag on the lip of the shoe to hide the battery. Remove the shoe laces. Ideally the LED will light up for every step that you take. So, to create a switch that does that we’ll use pressure sensitive material. ( black squares…
Brent Hurlbert-Creative Switch
For my creative switch I chose to make a puzzle using a 9 volt battery and three red LEDs. I was able to find a small puzzle image on google and paste it to a piece 1/8″ thick wood I had lying around. I made an outline using an exacto knife and traced the outline…
Julie’s Creative Switch project
For my creative switch project I decided to make a “Night Club“. What you will need wire, 9V battery, cardboard, a box cutter, wire cutters, wire strippers, tape, glue, a resistor, two (2) blue LEDs, a printer, and an imagination. In doing so I had made a series circuit with 2 blue LED…
Lucas Milkovich/Diego Vega – Creative Switch
Materials Used: Wooden boards, soldering kit, circuit marker and paper, multiple LED’s in various colors, wiring, and a battery pack. Goal: We wanted to create a board where, when a certain ’emotion’ was applied to it with the circuit marker, the LED that corresponds to that emotion in the ‘eyes’ of the board would light…
Gabriel Mueller I connected 3 LED Diodes to a 9 volt battery I then created a wire frame for my octopus, allowing room within the head for the wire to fit in. I covered the entirety of the wire frame with paper-mache. Leaving a hole at the bottom for the electronic pieces to be placed….
Kati’s Creative Switch Proj.
Materials: Old Dictionary, Tape, Conductive Tape, Conductive Thread, Two Red Lights, & 6 Volt Battery, One Resistor, Aluminum Foil My goal for this project was to have the book light up when its closed. From the beginning I wanted the design to be clean so I hid the battery pack in the bind. Then began…
Light up Nail Clipper
First I taped the conductive side of the back so that it only lights up when the nail clipper clips. Next I bent the metal so that it touches the clipper when it comes down. Tada… My other light broke, couldn’t light up two.. 🙁
ShanaTS – Light-up Chopsticks!
For my creative switch, I decided to turn on two LEDs by touching chopsticks together. In Korean culture, often metal chopsticks are used which is where I got the idea. Each LED was attached to the non-eating end of a chopstick. Follow these steps to make Light-up Chopsticks! The circuit that we will be constructing…
Creative Switch- Summer Shaw
Creative Switch Project 2/2/17 Summer Shaw My project adapted the potentiometer as my switch. The LEDs are placed in the picture frame. I used oil pastels to create a sky to make the lights imitate stars. Initially, the sun, which is connected to the switch, is above the frame. When the sun is above the…
