iPads, MakerEd and More in Education

"Are you interested in learning about beginner sewing circuits? Wanna transfer that knowledge to your Makey Makey?"

I learn best through tactile teaching methods.  Teaching and learning basic circuits, electronics, and electricity from books is good, but why not build a simple circuit from scratch and learn from doing.  This is a great way to get hands on and teach/learn the basics of electricity.  With this project you can change the path of the electric current to run through different sensors.  With this design you can switch between lighting a Blue LED or activating a Buzzer.  You also have the choice of using a Light Dependent Resistor with the LED or Buzzer.  You can be creative and design your own circuit and add different sensors (other LEDs...).  

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make Valentines Day cards that light-up.  Give your Valentine something special and unique while learning about simple circuits and the basics of electricity.

This project is based on paper circuits which uses conductive copper tape, LEDs and a battery to bring your card to life.

Once complete, you can use the concepts learned to create your own custom light-up card.
