Anxiety Alarm- Work in progress
When anxiety kicks in, your body's stress response can go into overdrive. This can affect your nervous system and cause sensory symptoms like burning or itching of the skin, with or without visible signs. You can experience this sensation anywhere on your skin, including your arms, legs, face, and scalpAnxiety necklace specifically made for users who scratch their neck due to sensation of itching created becasue of aniety. While having an anxiety attack the users may scratch unconsciously obsessively, resulting in hurting themseleves.
Customizations: Can be worn as a headband, bracelet, choker necklace, scarf anklet (adjustable strap). The material used can have various options based on prefered clothing material
Circuit Playground Express Holder
Body: Wearables and Performance
focuses on the "Body" as an interface – a site for exploration, augmentation and performance. Building on the skills gained in the previous assignment (Hacking: DIY Switches and Found Objects) constructs an interface that can be actuated in a performance. Body becomes an "actuator" as a sensor that uses to create an interesting interface between the project and the "outside world"? Works with touch between the watch and the skin of the user.

Sensing Events – Digital Inputs and Outputs
This assignment deals exclusively with hardware and software approaches to managing and designing Digital Inputs and Outputs. The purpose of the assignment is to familiarize the basic circuit construction techniques and introductory program control structures.
Circuit includes two push button switches, two 10k pull up resistors and two LED's.
Tools:
Arduino Code
Sensing Events - Analog Inputs and Outputs
This assignment deals exclusively with hardware and software approaches to managing and designing Analog Inputs and Outputs. The purpose of the assignment is to familiarize with basic circuit construction techniques and introductory program control structures.
Analog input circuit consists of a voltage divider (photo resistor or potentiometer and a fixed resistor) and one output device (LED or one speaker).
Hacking: Found Objects and DIY Switches
Creaqted switch by hacking a found object+ creating something new from DIY/non-traditional/electronic materials.
The purpose of the assignment is to explore the potentials that exist when switches/actuators are constructed from non-traditional materials.
Used foil as a conductor which powers the led when the surface of mouse touches the mouse pad.
