Paper Circuits with Natalie Freed (Online)

Schedule: Mar 13, 2021 -- 2pm - 5pm (CT); 
12pm - 3pm (PT); 1pm - 4pm (MT); 3pm - 6pm (ET); 
Registration ends: Friday, Mar 5, 2021 at 5pm (CT) 

Learn to combine papercraft techniques with friendly, accessible electronics materials like conductive tape, flat batteries, and bead-like LED lights. In this workshop, we will apply these techniques to make glowing, interactive books that make creative use of light and shadow. By the end of the day you will have learned to make simple circuits with conductive tape, embed colorful LED lights, and add switches to make your books blink, sparkle, and glow.

No electronics experience necessary! The course is designed for complete beginners–we are excited about sharing these fascinating materials with artists and creative crafters.
