Giant Button Build

This project was sent in by Zach. Find out if you are a winner with a great build and write up! Via Build Cool Stuff:

The conversation went something like:

If you wanted to build an interactive art object what would it be like?

It would grab peoples attention from far away.
It would make people smile.
It would make people feel good about themselves.
It should take people on an emotion journey. In other words, make them feel good and then take that away.

Hmmm… What is something kind of universal that almost everyone likes to do? PUSH BUTTONS!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
