LEGO and Squink
Trying to get more electronics into one of the world's most popular toys Botfactory's Squink team teamed up with Rachel Hellenga. Here is a nice video on how this turned out!
Botfactory's Squink team teamed up with Rachel Hellenga on a project to get more electronics into toys. Her goal has been to integrate electronics like LEDs into LEGO blocks, using things like conductive tape and Squink to reach it.
Using transparent sheets and kapton with the correctly spaced holes, one idea was to print on the surface of these sheets and then place them on top surface of a block. This is ideal for teaching students the basics of electronics using the World's most popular toy! Check out the video below to see what happened!
