Soft Circuits 101

For everyone who’s curious about where to start with soft circuits and wearables – Soft Circuits 101! In this workshop, we’ll sew a very simple soft circuit with conductive thread to light an LED. The techniques we use in this class are great building blocks to use for your own projects in the future! This is designed as a beginner introduction to both electrical circuits and sewing – no experience with either necessary to join. Supplies will be provided and attendees will get to keep their project.
This is designed for beginners! No experience needed, and all supplies will be provided.
