Codeable Objects is a library for Processing that allows people to design and build objects using geometry and programing. Geometric computation offers a host of powerful design techniques, but its use is limited to individuals with a significant amount of programming experience or access to complex design software. In contrast, Codeable objects allows a range of people, including novice coders, designers and artists to rapidly design, customize and construct an artifact using geometric computation and digital fabrication. The programming methods provided by the library allow the user to program a wide range of structures and designs with simple code and geometry. When the user compiles their code, the software outputs tool paths based on their specifications, which can be used in conjunction with digital fabrication tools to build their object.

An exploration into the possibilities for individual construction and customization of the most ubiquitous of electronic devices, the cellphone. By creating and sharing open-source designs for the phone's circuit board and case, we hope to encourage a proliferation of personalized and diverse mobile phones. Freed from the constraints of mass production, we plan to explore diverse materials, shapes, and functions. We hope that the project will help us explore and expand the limits of do-it-yourself (DIY) practice. How close can a homemade project come to the design of a cutting-edge device? What are the economics of building a high-tech device in small quantities? Which parts are even available to individual consumers? What's required for people to customize and build their own devices?

Getting Hands-On with Soft Circuits is a set of instructional materials which seeks to expose middle and high school students to the creative, expressive, and computationally engaging domain of e-textiles. Engaging in hands-on activities, such as creating soft, electronic textile (e-textile) circuits, is one promising path to building self-efficacy and scientific understanding – both of which can have a dramatic impact on diversity in the field of computing. The instructional materials include a workshop activity guide and an accompanying kit of low-cost craft and electronic components.

LilyPond is a budding e-textile Web community that fosters creative collaboration through the sharing of personal projects. Home to a growing repository of skill- and project-based tutorials, LilyPond provides support for young adults who want to design and create soft, interactive circuits with the LilyPad Arduino toolkit.

This project is an experiment in material and scale: a life-sized pop-up book that you can open up and step into, made using only cardboard, an X-acto knife, tape, and glue. Inside the book is a kinetic mural of breathing pleated flowers. As you tug on a string of beads leading from one flower, the rest come to life, moving like puppets using a series of strings attached to motors. The mural itself is drawn using conductive fabric and copper tape, which serve as both expressive and functioning traces within the circuit. Electronic components are also openly displayed and emphasized to explain the electronic workings behind the mural.

An electric tambourine that is completely powered by the playing of the instrument. The jingles of the tambourine are lined with piezoelectric elements, which generate voltage when impacted. This voltage is then harvested to turn on LED lights on the tambourine. The harder the tambourine rattles, the greater the voltage generated by the piezoelectric elements and thus the brighter the light. Yellow LED lights on the jingles light up when the corresponding piezo is rattled. If the tambourine is played with enough force, blue and red LED lights on the band also light up. Thus, the player can both hear and see the music generated by this instrument.
