Hey everyone, our names are Jordan Oliver and Chelsea Soto. We wanted to create a switch for people who are visually impaired. This switch could be used to alert a person, when they grasp their food with their eating utensil. The materials we used to assemble our switch includes a circuit playground express, a red LED, a 100 ohm resistor, a fork, a banana, four alligator clips and a breadboard. First, we connected one end of the red and black alligator clips to the circuit playground express and the other end to the breadboard to provide its power supply. Finally, when we took the fork with the green alligator clipped to it and touched the banana with the blue alligator clipped to it, the red LED turned on.
