Soft Circuit Boards (SCBs): Handmade Circuits on Craft Foam

Date: June 17, 2026 1-2pm


Session Leaders: Yafira ✿


Format: In-person only


Tags: #soft electronics #craft #diy #soft circuits #e-textiles #soft interfaces


what if you made your own circuit board by hand? in this session we'll build simple circuits on craft foam using copper tape and LEDs, tracing our own connections, poking in components, and lighting things up. (Like a PCB, but close enough to be interesting. Let's call it Soft Circuit Boards) we'll do a quick intro to how real PCBs work and what traces actually do, then everyone makes their own.

no soldering, no prior electronics experience needed. good for artists, makers, and anyone curious about the overlap between craft and hardware.
