For my midterm, my design goal is to create a thinking cap for students which will signify when a student is thinking and not to be bothered! This is for DT 2nd years in the thesis process.
Materials:
Light bulb
hat
conductive thread
conductive fabric + foam
big battery
The idea is pretty simple: The light bulb will be mounted on top of the hat and there will be a button inside of the hat. When the head touches the top of the hat, the pressure will push the button down and complete the circuit which will turn on the light bulb.
Precedent
The Knitted Radio! Using textiles + clothing as electronic mediums.
LED + Sensor homework
I did a simple if.else statement that would display the brightness of the LED at a different stage depending on the sensor reading.
