'''Cost''': Participation is free! We have very limited materials available, materials donations are appreciated! These materials are reusable! I make a kit specifically for workshops like this. Get one [http://luminousintensityy.com here] if you want to take your project home. I have lots of information about parts and suppliers if you want to make something more custom. <br> | '''Cost''': Participation is free!

Lighting | Lighting is important to the way that you feel. It can inspire awe, or make us laugh. It can annoy if done wrong. It can attract certain kinds of people. We will learn about microcontrollers and how to program them. Build something cool, then make it interactive. Add lights to your bike and make it visible. Underlight your skateboard. Make your stage pulse with light and dance to your music. Add interesting lighting effects to your favorite hackerspace! | ||
