By some cosmic coincidence, I got to take a class this week.  I coordinate about 200 classes every year, but I almost never get to attend any purely as a student.  The class was about stitched “soft” circuits using conductive thread.  Cool huh?  I learned how to make two kinds of switches – a “permanent” snap switch and a “squeeze” switch  (using conductive thread and fabric) and mounted a battery and 2 LED’s.  This is the sample project we made, a kind of girl scout badge, showing off our circuit.  I put most of my components on the top rather than hiding them on the back. I thought it looked cooler that way.  It was a fun class and it was really inspiring to do something new.
