Kitronik's Kevin Spurr and Ben Gray recently attended a series of NTUMakersClub workshops were they ran microbit sessions. They also provided support to the students with advice on their coursework prototypes.
Some Of The Items And Equipment Used:
- BBC micro:bit.
- Flexible LED ZIP Strip.
- Connecting Multi Stranded Wire.
- Soldering Iron.
- Microsoft MakeCode Editor For microbot.
- Wood Turning Lathe.
- Textiles, needle and thread.
Interactive microbit Handbag By Georgia McKenna:
This project serves to demonstrate how different disciplines can come together in a single design. Also, I suspect that woodturning lathes are rarely used to create wearables. The design also featured electronics, textiles and a microbit.
Making the Interactive microbit Handbag:
The pictures and video below give a glimpse into some of the inner workings of the handbag. They also give you an idea of how it was constructed and put together.
The Finished Interactive microbit Handbag:
The pictures below certainly demonstrate how good the handbag looks as part of an ensemble. Amazing!
We would like to thank Georgia for allowing us to share her work with you. We would also like to wish her all the best for the future. If this is any indication, it looks to be a bright one.
