dLux Intro to Wearable Electronics Workshop
Program your own bling with Toydeath's Nick Wishart.
Overview
Grassroots media and arts organisation dLux is all about giving anyone who's interested in learning new skills the opportunity to do so. This month, they're hosting a workshop that will teach you how to make devices that will literally light up your wardrobe.
Electronics guru and multimedia artist Nick Wishart (who is also the mastermind behind Toydeath, a rock band made made up of electronic toys), will spend the day teaching 'Electronics 101', which will mostly involve playing around with cool flashy sensors and things that beep (like accelerometers and microphones), coding them using Arduinos and soldering the components together.
By the end of the day you'll have all the tools you need (no really, you get your own starter kit) to add LEDs to your backpack, shoes or bike. Who says light-up shoes are just for kids?
