Concept
I was looking around in my room to find something that uses simple motion to work, and I thought of my drawers. This is how I came up with my drawer switch. I set up the circuit, and taped two large foil pieces to the coils and onto the inside of the drawer as shown in the photo below:
Challenges:
Due to illness I had to miss the previous class, so I relied on Youtube and online tutorials to learn how to create circuits and how switches work. Because of that it took me quite a while to understand them, and hence why the end result looks a bit more crowded than my classmates’.

Reflection:
Overall I am satisfied with my idea and execution, and I am very glad I managed to learn about circuits, how to manage a breadboard and how to use Arduino even though it took longer through the internet.
