For youth ages 9 - 12
(This is a 10 session class).

If you’re interested in interactive toys, smart accessories, or light-up fashions, this class is for you! We will work together to create a set of LilyPad Arduino projects that bring together craft, electronics, and programming. We will craft a series of quirky customizable projects including a sparkling bracelet, a glow-in-the-dark bookmark, a fabric piano, and a monster that sings when you hold its hands. Play with cutting-edge technologies and learn sewing, programming, and circuit design along the way. This camp is a great way to introduce girls to engineering. More details available on the Sew Electric website: http://sewelectric.org

Materials Fee: 

$160 includes all electrical components and your very own copy of the book "Sew Electric," which contains detailed tutorials for all of the projects we will make. The book and all materials used are yours to take home and keep after the class.
