Need help teaching electronics? I've created a huge range of educational resources for teachers to make it easy to use GlowStitch LED strips for wearable tech and crafting projects. This includes a presentation and a range of printable hand outs. More info here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/makerqueenau/glowstitch-leds/updates/glowstitch-led-educational-resources-for-teachers

Four things I'm most proud of this year:

1. Launching GlowStitch LEDs (crowdfunding now!)
2. Changing my Cat kit design from coin cells to AAA batteries for safety
3. Presenting at the Open Hardware Conference
4. Launching my Skill Trees project
   What are you most proud of?

A soldering kit of a black and white cat with gold highlights. The kit is a nightlight when turned on, and was re-designed this year as new product safety guidelines in Australia are getting stricter around coin cell battery usage. Coin cell batteries are a swallowing hazard for young children.
A celebration image of GlowStitch LEDs, lights that are made from thin, flex PCBs that can be machine sewn into projects. GlowStitch LEDs were successfully crowdfunded on crowd supply.
A thumbnail image of my skill trees project, a collection of printable templates inspired by video game skill trees. Colour in the boxes on the sheet and easily get a visual of your skill level, plus get inspired to try new things. Skill trees show a pathway or milestones to advancement and can celebrate your achievements while highlighting areas to improve.
