E-textiles

The middle classes had a go out creating some badges using electrical circuits.  There were a few steps to this lesson so we broke them down throughout the day.

The main teaching points were:
1.  understanding how a circuit works
2. Creating and designing a personalised badge for themselves
3. using a conductive thread to sew, to enable the circuit to make the light shine.


The students were very pleased with the way they turned out.  There was a lot of excitement when they turned their switches on and saw that their light came on!

The front of the badges, each had a light.                     A pin was attached to the back.
