This project is interactive and explores how physical gestures and breath can be translated into emotional states using light and sound. Different movements trigger different emotional responses, allowing the user to perform and observe different moods. Using the Circuit Playground’s built-in accelerometer, speaker, microphone, buttons, and NeoPixel LEDs, the device will be able to respond…

Moth wing switch – Brianna Gabriel
I was inspired by a moth plushie I own that has magnets in its wings. The magnets allow it toopen and close its wings. For my recreation I used conductive thread tied to led’s and activated with battery’s. By pressing the wings together, the led’s on the LEDs on its antennas. Materials.

My material philosophy more often has to do with conceptual meanings over the physical properties of the material. While I do prefer to use materials that are light and less difficult to work with, I don’t often consider factors such as their longevity or performance. If anything, most of the time the materials I use…

Apartment Lights and Stray Cat For this project I wanted to create something that would trigger the LEDs to turn on using conductive tape as well as pressure on the battery to activate the switch. In order to create this project I decided to use materials which were easily accessible such as cardboard for the…
Evelyn Roque-Creative Switch Revision
I will feature a character that will have LEDs in her hands and in her hair. It will be a total of 3 LEDs with the colors red, blue, and white. I will use aluminum foil to create a circuit, the goal is to have the LEDS light up when touching the hands, but it…
Ring Connections (Creative Switch – Neisha Allen)
This project is a wearable jewelry switch with two rings, made out of aluminum bands (metal) and wrapped in copper tape, that interact with one another in a heart-shaped parallel LED circuit. Everything will be on construction paper and powered by a 3V coin cell battery. The rings are the only things that lift up…

What is your material philosophy? – When it comes to the material I use, I solely focus on the physical properties. What the material is able to do and what can be made out of it. If a material serves a certain purpose I will use it for that purpose. I do not mess with…
