In collaboration with the University of Alberta Art Club, this hands-on workshop blends art and technology, giving you the chance to create your own light-up, touch-sensitive fabric project.

In this session, you'll wire up NeoPixels to glow with a simple touch—red on one pad, blue on the other, and a stunning purple when both are pressed together. And the best part? You'll get to embroider and customize your own fabric project with NeoPixels to take home.

No prior experience? No problem. Our mentors will guide you through every step!

• Build a Project – Get hands-on experience with a powerful, beginner-friendly, Flora Board microcontroller and work with Neopixels and more.
• Artistic Aspect – Expand on your creative ability with embroidery! Materials will be supplied, but feel free to bring your thread and non-stretchy fabric. Non-stretchy fabrics include:
  • Cotton (recommended)
  • Linen
  • Duck Cloth
  • Polyester
  • Wool Felt

Please note: sewing will be involved, so please take pre-caution.
