You will learn how to control LEDs to create multiple color effects. Perfect for creating LED sculptures, wearables, or anywhere you want to add some light to your life. You will learn basic Python programming and how to use LED libraries. How to control colors and patterns, and how to assemble all the components. (No soldering required). Learn how to control different length LED strands and matrix’s. 3 and ½ hour one day boot-camp.

**Tuition and materials. (includes $60 Raspberry Pi Zero W and LED Matrix)**

**Sliding scale $150 - $250** ($200 suggested)

3.5 hour workshop to learn to program a 256 RGB Flexible LED Matrix using Python on your own Raspberry Pi Zero W. Perfect for creating wearables. The expandable system can be used with LED strings or multiple connected matrices. You will leave with a programmed functioning LED matrix and all the components to enable you to update your program at home with any standard USB keyboard and computer monitor.
