Simon The Sun Flower

Simon The Sun Flower is a version of the classic children's game Simon, embedded in a flower. It plays a sound as it lights its leaves, and children have to repeat the pattern by squeezing the bugs on the correct leaves.

At its heart are 4 pressure sensors and 4 LED's connected to an interface kit.  Pressure sensors detect when a bug has been pressed and in turn the appropriate LED is lit.
