Paper Circuits Workshop

Great workshop this week with the Hyde Square Task Force! Participants learned how to fold origami cubes, and about how to make a circuits that make LED lights work. When combined

This little LED-lit cube is much more than just a paper lantern: It’s a translucent and flexible thin-film electronic circuit that hooks up a battery to an LED, limber enough to be folded into an origami box. And the coolest thing about circuits like these? You can make them at home.

In what order accutane skin care online follows, we combine basic electronics (an LED Throwie) and papercraft (a traditional origami balloon) to make what might be called an “LED Foldie.” The circuitry consists of aluminum foil traces, ironed onto adhesive paper such as freezer paper, photo mounting paper, or even a laser printed pattern. Something constructed this way can then be folded so fit an LED and battery to complete the circuit.

Besides the throwies themselves, this was inspired in part by the beautiful LED Floaties[via Make].
