Circuit Twister, 2018.
The ultimate goal of Circuit Twister is to provide a cooperative and fun way for children to learn the concepts of basic circuitry. Modeling our design off the Hasbro game Twister, we laid out four basic circuits, or levels, on a vinyl mat in such a way as to encourage the light-hearted awkwardness the original game affords. Underneath each “gamepad” is a custom button that provides the necessary visual feedback and circuit logic to make the game functional. Through gamifying and building a sense of togetherness into an academic, and normally solitary, concept, this piece aims to both break down the seriousness intrinsic to the engineering field as well as provide a less isolating alternative to studying schematics.

Team Circuit Twister came together through the Creative Programming and Electronics (DESINV 23) course. As none of them fall into the generalized computer science or electrical engineering fields, they wanted to make a project that brought their own strengths to the table, while at the same time encompassing their own feelings on these fields as a whole.
