Light-up Sock Softies! ages 8-14

This class is a go! 2/26/13 crc

Create a sock softie and add a simple 2-LED circuit using conductive threads and electronic components to create glowing eyes!

This class will lead to others which include more sophisticated sewable electronics.

Testimonial:
My son focused on the lessons he learned in the workshop for his Science Fair project. He made more sock dolls with electronics and posed the question 'Can a toy express love?' for his invention project. He designed some interesting interactions. He was very proud.

Note from Trish... me too...

Note: This class is at Resurrection Lutheran, 1900 E. Carson St. (at Cherry)
