Week #8 assignment: Unusual Switch

Concept:

For this week’s assignment, I wanted to create something universal that could be adapted in various creative scenarios. To the Arduino board, I attached two wires with aluminum foil plates, a connection of which completes a circuit and lights up the LED light. I also wanted for it to be used between 2 people to increase the interactivity aspect and make it more fun (which it actually was a lot!). Here is the initial result:

And here is some more fooling around with it:

Implementation:

Implementing it was quite simple. It was a series circuit, enhanced with aluminum foil. Here is how the setup looked like:
