The following set of blog posts summarizes the work I have done with an organization called Changing Lives Through Literature (CLTL). My first post described CLTL, next were two interviews with former CLTL students, Ken, Sheila, and Veronica.

Halloween Inspired Soft Circuits!



The ghoulish looking friends use a magnet to keep them connected. It also functions as a switch to light up the little guy!

The pressure sensor bat, seen here lit and unlit, was created for the Gettin’ Batty workshop at Lovecraft Bar on October 26, 2012.

Meanwhile, the cat holds the power for the bat! When the bat gives his kitty companion a hug, his eyes become all aglow.

Want to create plush fiends like these? Check out the monthly workshops at Lovecraft Bar from 3-6pm every fourth Saturday!

Can’t make it? Shoot me an email, and we’ll create a custom workshop for a day and time that works for you!
