Sarah explaining to a tester what's going on.

WEE had a table at the Sally Ride Science Festival on campus this year. As suggested by Viola Rieke (who provided the parts and the schematic, but couldn't attend the festival), Sarah Harriman built an EKG (electro-cardio-gram) and invited festival-goes to see their heartbeat. Manning the table along with Sarah was Taly Gilat, who took most of the pictures. It was a huge success with a steady stream of people (among them a lot of young impressionable girls) wanting to try it out! :)

To see the heartbeat, a probe (a penny) lathered in body lotion, was placed on
each arm.
The breadboard. The circuit was built by Sarah Harriman (with debugging help from Augusto Roman).
As the morning went on, it got quite busy!
People lining up.

down.
All in all a great success! :)
