Growing up I loved reading Shel Sliverstein’ s poems.

My favorite poem is “The Poet Tree”.

Underneath the poet tree, Come and rest awhile with me,
And watch the way the word-web weaves Between the shady story leaves.
The branches of the poet tree Reach from the mountains to the sea.
So come and dream, or come and climb – Just don’t get hit by falling rhymes.

I wanted to highlight the leaves in tree and the little boy reading under it.
I used two LED’s in parallel and a 3V battery.

The project that I found really interesting and fun is the Dandelion Painting by Jie Qi.

The project is a very elegant and unexpected project. Using microcontrollers, microphones, LEDs, ink, rice paper, fleece, magnets. I am excited to work with simple products to develop a interactive work of art. I am excited to make projects that are interesting and integrate the user.
