Join us at MODA’s Design Bar and get down to basics. Using a variety of conductive mediums, like copper foil tape, paper clips, aluminum foil, coin cell batteries and LEDs, participants will be introduced to basic circuitry concepts to better understand the science behind their designs. Along with understanding the ins and outs of circuits, participants will master beginner sewing skills, from threading a needle to tying a knot to practicing different types of stitches. The skills that they’ll acquire from both activities will serve as the foundation for their LED embedded patch project. Each participant will receive a sticky foam pinback to attach their patch to their item of choice.
