==Assignment #2: Midterm Project Proposal==
===Description===
'''Pressure Light Switch''': I plan to make a simple pressure-activated switch contraption for my midterm project. When a person steps on a certain area on the floor in which a pressure pad is located, his or her weight restores current flow in the circuit and causes a light (or maybe alarm) to be activated. The pressure switch will either function similarly to a push on/off switch, so that it may be useful when a person crosses some place such as the hallway without needing to switch on the main lights; or, the device will only be activated when pressure is applied, and automatically deactivated when pressure is relieved. To be a little more creative, the light will be attached to some sort of homemade materials, possibly with shining light on hanging discarded CDs.
