The students felt like it was Christmas as the packages arrived and I showed them the different materials that were arriving.\r\n\r\nOnce they had all arrived I laid them all out on a table so they could see what we had available and I had some different examples of projects on my screen so they could see possible projects. Once they saw what could be done, their creative juices were flowing.\r\n\r\nWe had a range of outcomes for this project. The intended project was to have some type of textile that employed the use of conductive thread and LED lights or diodes. Students found projects that they were comfortable creating and the sky was the limit. Here are just a few of the things that were created:\r\n\r\n--a layered patch sewn together without LED lights \r\n--a patch created with felting and then sewn in LED light and sewn onto a backing\r\n--a 3D crocheted jellyfish with multiple diodes sewn throughout to create a bioluminescent effect\r\n\r\nAfter seeing what is possible, I plan on exploring more ways that students can incorporate the conductive thread and LED lights and diodes into different artworks.","fullyFundedDate":1736273374936,"projectUrl":"project/stitching-circuits-bringing-electronic/8935543/","projectTitle":"Stitching Circuits: Bringing Electronic Art to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Silverthorne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9832724_orig.jpg?crop=1184,1184,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736868903808","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9832724"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132527","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":850,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":28.6,"schoolId":132527,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thompson Intermediate on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thompson Intermediate","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/pasadena-independent-school-district/thompson-intermediate/132527"}
