Did you know that ordinary sewing notions can be used as electrical switches? 

In this class that merges art and science, participants will learn how to stitch on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and use conventional sewing components as electrical switches. After making an E-Textile switchboard, participants will design and make a bag that incorporates an electrical circuit. So if you fancy a smart bag that reminds you when you’ve forgotten something, or just lights up in a really cool way, this is the class for you!
