Lupin
a unique learning kit combining textiles with basic electronics.

Stereotypes dictate that boys don't sew and girls don't play with electronics. The Lupin project kit aims to combine these conventionally separate worlds, fostering collaboration between the sexes and opening their minds to the innovations that are possible at the intersection of multiple disciplines.
 

No soldering or previous knowledge of electronics is required. The kit contains all the materials needed to build a cute soft toy incorporating conductive fabrics and a basic electronic circuit that allows its eyes to light up when its ears and/or whiskers touch. And if you build more than one, be ready for a great surprise!

  Kits can be sold individually or taught as a playful workshop for schools and events.
  See the news section for workshop dates.
