Maker Faire New York is taking place September 29 and 30, and there will be over 500 exhibits showcasing creativity and innovation in technology, craft, science, fashion, art, food and more. Here’s just one of the exhibits I’m looking forward to checking out: “Severed Hand Bop-It” by Sarah Schoemann and Jason Schapiro. Here’s the description:
An Arduino powered plush toy with morbidity to spare! “Severed Hand Bop-It” offers a tactile and quirky take on the classic ‘Simon’ game. With 5 “soft” switches, sounds and LED feedback, it’s sure to provide hours of grisly fun!
Check out Sarah’s other whimsical work on her website.
Maker Faire Project Profile
Severed Hand Bop-It
Our project is a digital plush toy made with the arduino and conductive textiles. It is a bit of a gross out (since its meant to resemble a severed hand) but is appropriate for kids as well as adults and has been tested by both.
Creepy fun!
