Gal Sasson from ITP entered this “Make a Play” video and project in Engadget’s Insert Coin: New Challengers competition. It gets my vote for its combination of craft and electronics to create fun and engaging puppets, simple box theater construction complete with a spooky backdrop and lighting effects, and of course that laser-etched wooden control box.

I’d like to see that in mini-puppet form!
This is amazing. I would love to know more details about how you created the mechanism that controls the puppets and lights. I am just beginning to work with Arduinos and MaKey MaKey.
Reblogged this on TechOnion and commented:
Gal Sasson has put together an amazing puppet theater by combining art, theater, and computing. My mind is boggled by how far we have come from cardboard shoeboxes and sock puppets.
