Unlock your creativity at 'Make Your Story Glow,' an immersive workshop where technology meets personal storytelling. Join Connect Byte and Double Union in Mountain View for a playful afternoon spent building a magnetic LED scrapbook. You'll learn how to assemble a simple electronic circuit that triggers a glowing light whenever a decorative magnetic charm touches the cover, blending hardware and art into one meaningful project.
This event is exclusively for women and is designed to be a welcoming entry point into the world of maker culture. No previous experience with electronics or crafting is required; all necessary materials are provided. You'll be guided through the basics of circuitry in a supportive environment, allowing you to experience technology as a creative hobby.
