Description: Sew LEDS into fabric and build simple circuits sewing with conductive thread. You'll learn basic circuit design, explore the aesthetics of circuits, and be introduced to the possibilities of embedding computational and electronic elements into wearables, architecture, and home furnishings. During the course of this workshop, participants will: ~Learn about circuits by experimenting with sewn components. ~Design a microcontroller circuit with up to 4 LEDs and a switched battery pack. ~Sew a strong conductive circuit. ~Embellish or plan to embellish the circuit with non-conductive decorative materials.
Extra Info: Suggested Ages- 10 and older is optimal. Younger children need to already know how to sew to be successful.
