Build a Talking Baby Groot! A Maker Code Challenge/Solution (CircuitPython School)

Build a talking groot! Add a real succulent or other plant to a 3D printed head or purchased Baby Groot, and use CircuitPython with a Circuit Playground board to make him talk when tapped! 3D print my students used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2836387 Final code & Illustrator file for laser cutting a box in the GitHub repo at: https://github.com/gallaugher/baby-groot Lesson on designing a custom box and creating a laser cutter file: https://youtu.be/col-nC4-xTE?si=tk5lvqhgTbSFxOnk I'll also show how the challenge can be solved using the one-line ternary operator, and the one-line modulo loop technique, instead of using a traditional if conditional. This is an in-class challenge given after my students have learned to play sound and use capacitive touch on CircuitPlayground boards (we use the Bluefruit).
