[Grants] [LACTTE] Grant Application from Robyn Willison for E-Textiles Course

[robyn at robynspcs.com]

Hi Wil 

1. Outline 

Installing software 

Intro to programming 

Examples from https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/guides/eagled 

Entering programs and uploading to the EagLED 

Electronics 

Building on existing programs / Modifying programs 

Sewing a circuit 

Making a toy 

2. The course will run several times a year (or more) depending on
interest. 

3. I will send another reply with the course cost. 

The electronic parts will remain with Makerspace and students can buy
their own EagLED board or use one of ours. 

4. This is an in-person course because it is a practical course and will
be run in the Electronics area at Makerspace Adelaide. 

5. The primary take away from the course is for the students to be
comfortable with uploading and modifying basic Aduino sketches,
following a basic circuit diagram and  sewing a circuit / adding a
circuit to their cosplay.
