Light Us Up!

Help me give my students coin cell battery holders with terminals for conductive thread to design e-textiles (light up fabric!).

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Marsha Williams's classroom raised $157

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My electrifying electrical circuit builders want to take their light someplace they've never been before- their clothes! My students need coin cell battery holders with built-in terminals for conductive thread. With these battery holders, they will be able to design and sew electrical circuits directly onto their clothes and other fabrics.

My middle school technology students hope to broaden their understanding of how "smart-wearables" and other e-textiles are designed, how they function, and their practical applications.

Help light their way to a hands-on project in emerging technology. They can't believe they can sew a circuit. Let's light the way!
