Step into the vibrant world of miniature lights with our hands-on workshop! Adding a light (or two) into a project can be a quick and easy way to add interest to a project, plus teach about electricity and alternative ways to create circuits. LEDs last a long time, are cost-effective, and are safe for students of all ages. Inspired by the latest maker trends, attendees will work with flexible EL wire to light up a mini neon sign during the session!
During this engaging workshop, participants will:
- Gain practical skills in wiring, shaping, and securing materials.
- Learn how to determine the power requirements for any lights you want to add to a project.
- Learn how to integrate this project into STEAM lessons, fostering creativity and hands-on student learning.
- Walk away with a custom mini neon sign and inspiration for future classroom projects.
Whether you’re a maker novice or an experienced DIY enthusiast, this workshop is designed to light up your creativity and give you the tools to illuminate your teaching space. Get ready to glow!
