The three mechanics for the switches I made are: (1) pinching, (2) grabbing, and (3) squeezing.

Pinching Switch:

I wanted to explore pop-up structures and created this pop-up tent with a simple switch.  Check out my intractable here.

Grabbing Switch:

This is a superhero shield, and the switch is built into the handle.  When you grab the handle, the switch is triggered and the LEDs light up.

Squeezing Switch:

This is a lightning bolt (again, superhero theme).  When you squeeze the top of the lightning bolt, the switch is trigged, and the LEDs light up.

Story for shield:

This shied is used by a superhero to protect her/him from evil.  When he or she grabs the handle of the shield, the LEDs light up and create a save environment around her/him.
