DESCRIPTION: “Beatbox” is a physical board that produces randomly generated and popular ‘meme’ sounds. Using Python, myself and other students created a working beatbox that interacts with buttons. By touching a button on the breadboard (hidden underneath the black box), the user can randomly generate sounds. Different buttons played different sounds through the speaker. The breadboard and the speaker were connected to a Raspberry Pi, specifically designed for coding, which ran the code live in Python.
