Think of some product that uses electricity

• Toaster
• Washing machine
• Radio, TV, iPod
• Computer
• Automobile

What do all these products have in common?

In the lab you will work in groups of four and
throughout the course your group will invent and
design some useful product that

1. uses the amount of squeezing of a hand grip as
   input
2. processes this data digitally, and
3. causes something to move using a relay or motor
