The students had a vision to create a more versatile light switch training prop to train service dogs. By adding a sound component to the light switch training prop, they hope to improve the efficiency of the training process. The design is battery-powered and implements a board with two types of light switches found in common households. In order to play a sound, an Arduino microprocessor was used to control when the speakers played a sound.
