Story

This disobedient protest object is called The Work Glove. The main purpose of this glove is to protest and bring awareness to the notion that modern citizens and millennials mostly have to work almost all the time with little breaks in order to make a living and secure a place of residency. I know friends who have recalled stories of them working overtime almost everyday in order to pay for college or rent, or their car debt. This inspired me to create the work glove which is a constant reminder that in todays society, if you aren't constantly working, you are basically dead.

This Glove is made up of a few simple parts: An Adafruit Circuitboard Playground Express, A Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 1200mAh, A Medical Glove, Duct Tape, and A right-handed extra grip Gardening Glove. I first taped the battery to the medical Glove, where later it will be concealed by the gardening glove. I then cut a small hole in the top-wrist section of the gardening glove in order to feed the wire from the battery into the CPX. Finally, I taped the CPX onto the gardening Glove and connected it to the battery. Everything is stable and most of the wiring is concealed.
