Fri Workshop - Blink Twice: Intro to Electronics & Breadboarding for Cosplay

Fri 3:00pm-4:30pm

If circuitry scares you but you dream of cosplays/props with lights and special effects, come get hands on in this interactive workshop! Engineer and master cosplayer StarsOfCassiopeia will teach you the basics of electronics prototyping (breadboarding) and circuit design, leveraging a Raspberry Pi with prewritten code to make a set of LEDs blink on and off. We will also implement on/off switches, discuss additional special effects components, and discuss how to translate breadboarded circuitry to your final props & costumes. The kit of components is yours to keep at the end of class, so you can turn it into next year's amazing build!
