Experiments with different materials for Age Cymru

Lemons are conductive!

Electro-conductive fruit!

This week's workshop with Age Cymru, #Gwanwyn clubs - I led a session with a small group. We got the chance to try different materials and see if playdoh, lemons and sugarcoated cake decorations were electro-conductive!

It just so happened that one of the participants is a dab hand at making all things cake-related. She demonstrated a simple, yet effective way of making a flower by rolling out the dough into small balls which were then flattened. It was attached to the touch capacitive sensor and...we can make a cake sing Happy birthday!
