Electronics Workshop — The Lettuce that Whispers Ohmmmmm!

Workshop by André Rocha with children aged 6 to 12.

How can electronics be used to coax secrets from the soil? In this workshop, lettuce leaves were transformed into circuit boards of nature itself, while discarded packaging found a new life as plant pots. At the intersection between root and resistance, what whispers might emerge?

Over the course of two hours, children wandered through a labyrinth where art and science intertwined, culminating in a creation that was equal parts poetry and circuit. Would their lettuces whisper—or shout? Only the Ohms could tell.
