DIY Workshop at Fab Lab Berlin
Make your own unique light-up jacket using Arduino
This is a good chance to learn about textile and wearable technology and build a real eye-catching product at the same time! We support your ideas by providing various materials like neon colors, glitter, mirroring film for ironing and of course LEDs and electronics. We also have a laser cutter and cutting plotter for you to use for your designs. Our goal is that you have fun and have the opportunity to experiment. We guarantee that by the end of this workshop, you will be holding in your hands a one-of-a-kind piece of clothing. If you like, you can focus more on the technological aspect, or take advantage of our software and focus mainly on the look, it’s all up to you!
