Merging Mindsets – Wearables

If you’ve ever been to Nuit Blanche, a Cosplay event, or night club – then you’ve probably seen someone lit up in lights. These DIY wearable creators use electronics, LEDs, mini controllers – and more – to enhance what they wear. Come and learn what the pros do, how to get started, where to find supplies and where to go once you have made your own DIY wearable. This panel is designed to inspire and is not a hands-on workshop.
