DIY Electro Dough Family Workshop: Create Circuits Using Conductive Dough

Join us and spend a morning exploring the intersection where technology, art and electro-dough meet!

DIY Electro Dough takes a hands on approach to discovering the possibilities of using electronics and programming to create physical objects. Whether you want to teach your kids about electronics or you want a new and easy way to learn the basic principles of electronics and circuitry come and join us! You will leave with some great skills and some great objects as well as an understanding of how to start experimenting with Electro Dough.

This workshop is part of LimeWharf's First Saturdays! First Saturdays is a new initiative from LimeWharf founder, Thomas Ermacora, programming a full day of free interactive experiences within LimeWharf & Wharf Kitchen to promote cultural innovation on Vyner Street, once a month. There will be live music, great food and lots of fun!

This kit is based on the great work by the students at the Thomas Lab at the University of St. Thomas in their development of Squishy circuits.

On the day we will cover:
During this workshop you’ll get to mould and create your own responsive and interactive sculptures using LEDs, batteries and playdough! One of the most enjoyable ways to build your own switches & construct your own circuits.

Level:
This workshop is suitable for ages 5+ but please note that this kit includes small parts and adult supervision is required.

What is included?
The workshop includes our DIY Electro Dough kit for you to take home and carry on playing with, including recipe book with tips and further ideas.

All prices include VAT.

NB: Because the conductive dough is extremely salty, the components and terminals will corrode over time. We suggest cleaning them with a damp cloth after playing with your Squishy Circuits to promote longevity.
