A couple tips:<br />- put copper tape under AND over the LED leads to get a stronger current<br />- encourage folks to get creative with their "switches." Folding over a corner of the paper doesn't always work excellently. See the Pokemon buttons and the "taco" above!<br />- have LOTS of coin cell batteries on hand, because sometimes it takes several of them to get enough voltage. Our awesome pack-rat maintenance guy bought several thousand hearing aid batteries at some going-out-of-business sale for like $20, and now we're using those!Lindsey Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598046414415965048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551441268921046095.post-33082247900136370572014-04-03T16:53:34.712-07:002014-04-03T16:53:34.712-07:00Nice projects.

I will be field testing pop up card LEDs next week at my school and doing a 30 minute workshop at Jaymes school in NYC on the 12th. Any tips are welcome.

More informal, ongoing revisiting of developing craftsmanship expectations, support in mastering circuitry concepts, etc. It's interesting how differently I think about feedback in this "fine arts" class vs my more academic "science" class...Lindsey Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598046414415965048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551441268921046095.post-77760793470851372082014-03-26T20:43:33.848-07:002014-03-26T20:43:33.848-07:00Awesome!
