Simone Giertz builds an automated 'Proud Parent' machine that accepts a quarter, lights up, and plays an audio file saying 'Proud of you, son' while a mechanical hand pats a shoulder. She tests the prototype, constructs the wooden box and suit design, and installs an Arduino microcontroller, servo motor, and coin acceptor, successfully reaching a break-even point with her coin-operated affirmation.
