NAT x UAC Demo Night
Step into the world of interactive fabrics at Demo Nights!
In collaboration with the University of Alberta Art Club, this hands-on workshop blends art and technology, giving you the chance to create your own light-up, touch-sensitive fabric project.
In this session, you’ll wire up NeoPixels to glow with a simple touch—red on one pad, blue on the other, and a stunning purple when both are pressed together. And the best part? You’ll get to embroider and customize your own fabric project with NeoPixels to take home.
No prior experience? No problem. Our mentors will guide you through every step!
What You’ll Do:
🌟 Build a Project – Get hands-on experience with a powerful, beginner-friendly, Flora Board microcontroller and work with Neopixels and more.
