Project name: E-Textiles Course<br>
Aim of the project: 6 week course to introduce cosplayers and others to Arduino and E-Textiles using the Little Bird EagLED board. EagLED is Littlebird Electronics' wearables/e-textiles development kit. It is a complete Arduino compatible microcontroller that has LEDs, Light Sensor, Push Button and Buzzer built into a snippable board. It is a lower cost, fully featured alternative to the Lilypad Protosnap.<br>

A statement including a willingness to provide regular project updates on the project: Participants will be using linux laptops during workshop, we will discuss open and closed hardware. Info will be provided about desktop linux for home/artists use. Participants can take advantage of other FOSS at Makerspace and will be encouraged to join Makerspace or come along to follow up workshops or join our textiles group UTAG. <br>
Linux Australia will be promoted through social media, Makerspace website, and our newsletter.<br>
We can produce updates throughout the 6 weeks of the course, with pictures and written details.<br>
