Jie Qi from MIT's Media Lab will be teaming up with paper engineer Colette Fu to teach you how to make your own electronic pop-up cards! This workshop covers creating pop-up cards, basic electronic switches and methods for adding light to the cards. Participants will learn how to power multiple LEDs with batteries, the mechanics of designing their own paper switches, and finally the pop-up techniques. Students will leave with several working models just in time for Valentine's Day.... glowing pop-up heart anyone? No soldering required!
