    Summary
    In this workshop, Fablab Saigon will show you how to make a lamp that changes colours upon detecting a hand swipe. You will learn to program the lamp's LEDs to shine your favourite colours. To switch off the lamp on or off, keep your hand just above the sensors for a few seconds. We will show you how to program a microcontroller to sense your hand movement and to build a lamp shade from scrapbooking paper. A demo can be seen at: https://youtu.be/w0-yVBAa4qA
