In preparation for the holidays, ChickTech hosted a workshop for students last December 15 on holiday ornament making, with a tech twist: the girls made and decorated their ornaments using LilyPad Arduinos.
LilyPad Arduinos is a technology designed for e-textiles and wearables. They are microcontrollers or small computers that can be sewn to fabric and connected to other electronic accessories using conductive thread rather than traditional wires. When programmed with Arduino software the computers can run code that instructs them to perform different tasks, like playing music or making a light blink
