The idea behind the heart is that connected to arduino you can make it vibrate. So when I squeeze it, someone who has the other heart would feel it vibrate or it would vibrate according to my squeezes. This way that person far away would know you are thinking about her/him.
Also its very aerodynamic. You can use it as a boomerang or ninja stars to represent a heart “attack” but it doesnt hurt. So you can poke someone with it just to make a joke!
Maurie is a black, baby stegosaurus. His back is constantly hurting these days because he is growing plates. Once his plates are fully developed, his skin will change color to turtlish green.
Mickey White is a laboratory mouse that born and raised in New York University’s Center for Genomics and Systems Biology. When he realized that he will be tested by scientists soon or later, Mickey White successfully escaped from the lab. Wandering around the city, he found people making cool stuff in SVA Visual Future Lab and sneaked in there. But, I caught him. His cheek is so fluffy.
Resurrected!
Greeny is the forgotten 5th member of the Pac-Man ghost crew. Banished from the arcade screen to the real world by his former members Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde after they saw him sneaking dots behind their backs. 
The video for this week is here.

Awaken the visual cortex rather than the cochlea… . . . . . . . . . .
(: plush 2 ) An interactive object to be used as an activity to guide communication in groups. It is based on a kids game called “Hot Potato” where the user holding it is given the stage to speak until the potato gets HOT and must be passed.
The red light within the plushy can be calibrated to different durations of time and intensity of light. An accelerometer senses when the plush devise it passed between people and this begins the program cycle. Some possible light variation may include blinking and color changes.
Although an App could be made to do this with a smartphone, this is meant to be an made using Arduino circuitry and sketches as a learning experience for me to program and build.
What are they?
A clam, a slice of pizza, and a jellyfish. If you couldn’t tell!
