Arduino Musical Instrument Presentations

On Thursday, we presented our Arduino musical instrument projects.  We designed our own musical instruments using components like, LEDs, light sensors, buttons and distance sensors.  It was a big learning experience for us to put together the hardware and software!

The presentation videos, slides and demos are listed below.  Congratulations to the Faculty Choice Award winners: Clarice and Zarco for "Bop It!"!  Congratulations to the People's Choice award winners: Christine and Kevin D. for "Bunny Ears"!
