MICHAEL N

Learn the basics of electronic color mixing & coding LED lights! With Michael, you'll make LED "flashlights" and discuss simple additive color mixing.  Then, you'll get to work with an electronic RGB color mixer and have the opportunity to build parts of color mixers and keep the final result.

Then dive into a discussion on simple coding for LED light strips using Python. With some basic music theory and prewritten software, you'll code an LED strip with chord based colors and rhythms. 

The material can be adapted to any age group that attends the event, or multiple age groups.
