Switch #

Watch the videos on your Arduino kit, Electricity and Circuits, setting up the Arduino, and making a basic switch read these notes from Sparkfun on how electricity works, then:

Build a circuit with a switch you make on your own that can be operated without using your hands. Think about what you have that is conductive. Aluminum foil, copper tape, and/or jumper wires work well. Be careful you do not cause a short! Always unplug your Arduino before changing anything in your circuit, and check to make sure there are no loose wires.
