Sewing Circuits Classroom Kit – Creative STEM Learning Set

Re-imagine wires and what the purpose of sewing can be with this fantastic DIY kit! Using clever conductive thread, your sewn connections for projects can now double as circuit pathways! Combined with included Crazy CircuitsTM components and powered by small coin cell batteries, your sewn projects can now light up is flashy or functional ways. Sewing circuit kits are a great way to teach engineering, motors, circuitry, electricity and ART all at once or take your DIY/hobbyist projects to the next level! Kit contains enough materials for at least four individual projects.

Overview

Make simple wearable electronics with this fun filled STEAM and STEM kit.

Making wearable electronics and soft circuitry projects has never been easier thanks to the Sewing Circuits Kits. Using Conductive Thread and our special Crazy Circuits components you can easily sew a circuit onto any fabric. Create a shirt, bracket, or pillow in minutes using only basic sewing skills. If you can sew a button on a shirt you can make your own wearable project.

Each version of the kit comes with everything you need to start creating projects right out of the box. We include large needles, conductive thread, batteries, and our custom electronics parts. The Classroom Set also include multiple colors of felt fabric sheets. Follow the included directions, one of our step by step video guides, or create your own project from scratch.

Warning: Kit includes small parts and batteries. These are a choking hazard. Not intended for children under the age of 10.

We highly recommend that users have a basic background knowledge of how to sew, especially in a classroom environment. All projects are run on 3V of power which can not be felt when worn. For a much simpler wearable project use our Paper Circuits Kit and build our No Sew Bracelet project.
