Paper Signals is a neat resource produced by Google that could prove to be a fun way to provide students with hands-on programming experience. Paper Signals is a set of templates that students can follow to program physical objects to respond to voice commands.

There are some physical products that you will need to have on hand in order to use Paper Signals. You may already have the necessary items in your school. First, you’ll need a printer to print a template (you’ll be folding and cutting paper). Second, you’re going to need a small circuit board, some wires/ cables, and a bit of glue. If you don’t want to source those items yourself, you can buy a little kit for less than $25.
