Edge Lighting Workshop!

Looking for a fun and approachable electronics project?  Want to make crafty, attractive decorations in time for the holidays?  Then come to i3Detroit on Monday, December 20th for an edge lighting workshop with visiting writer and maker, Steve Hoefer!  The class will be held from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM with a $5 materials cost – tickets are limited.  Click Here to sign up at Eventbrite.

We are very excited to host Steve Hoefer for this workshop – a technologist, writer and contributor to both MAKE and CRAFT Magazines.  He is also a teacher and currently traveling the Midwest teaching crafty and hacker skills at interested hackerspaces.

More on the class, from Steve:

My current class for this tour is edge-lighting signs and holiday decorations. (Like these: http://flic.kr/p/8Z6pBL )  It’s a simple project that anyone can do, but it looks great and has a bunch of uses from decorations to displays for electronics projects.

Participants will get the supplies and skills to make at least three edge-lit pieces, learn how and why it works, and the basics of working with LEDs.  You need practically no prior experience with electronics and the class will last about 1 hour.

The class will cost $5 for materials, and if you can spare it, a recommended donation of $5 to i3Detroit.  See you there!
