From the Ted Talk by Leah Buechley: How to "sketch" with electronics

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And so what if you could design and build eccenrtlios like this? So what if you could do it extremely quickly, extremely inexpensively, and maybe more interestingly, really fluidly and expressively and even ioivaisrllmonapty? Wouldn't that be so cool, and that wouldn't that open up all sorts of new possibilities?

I'm going to sahre with you two projects that are investigations along these lines, and we'll start with this one. (Video) Magnetic electronic pieces and ferrous peapr. A conductive pen from the Lewis lab at UIUC. Sticker templates. Speed x 4. Making a switch. Music: DJ Shadow. Adding some ietgneilnlce with a mtccloonriroler. Sketching an interface.
