Noisemaker
Project 1 Idea:
For my project I am thinking of making my noise maker produce the sound to a child or baby crying. As someone who works with children at a day care in a local gym, I think a lot about the new generations growing up right now and what they are going to be growing up into. The threats that they don't even know about coupled with a parental presence now seemingly being replaced by electronics (ipads), I want the viewer/participants that interact with my project to feel the responsibility that weighs on our shoulders in order to prepare a brighter future for our children. I'm still thinking about different sensors I want to use since I want the interactive part of my project to be as representative as possible. Cause: sensor taking in data ,, Effect: Noise (child) set off/ volume increasing.

Final
Final Proposal/Idea:
So far my idea is making a terrarium to work with a concept I will eventually dwindle down. I plan to use some servo motors, lights, and distance sensors, as well possibly a photoresistor to make an environment within the terrarium. Based on distance, I want the environment to shift from something tranquil to something more sinister in a way to comment on entrapment. Right now with the world status of covid and grappling with work and online school as well as thinking about what even is the future is making me feel a bit trapped. How I can convey this so that others understand is going to be challenging but I'm excited to trigger some emotional interactions with this, hopefully...
