This simple activity teaches kids about optics and circuitry through an engaging art activity. You start with a blank piece of acrylic and etch your name or design on it using an (included) safety pin. Once finished, add in an LED to make your project light up! This process is typically called "edge lit acrylic" and you can often find it being used for fancy Exit or shop display signs. The kits come with all the parts needed; acrylic blanks, safety pins, batteries, blue LEDs, and dot stickers. You will need to provide your own dry erase markers, or something similar, to complete this project. All kits are shipped with special blue LEDs. We've found that blue has the most vibrant appearance under all lighting conditions. This project is for ages 10 and up. The included coin cell batteries will last several days, slowly becoming dimmer. They can easily be replaced with a similar battery. Warning: Kit includes small parts and batteries. These are a choking hazard. Not intended for children under the age of 10.
Design Files
If you have access to your own laser cutter or CNC router our design files are available for download. Use your machines to etch in your digital files and designs.$60.00
This fun project is a perfect group activity for classrooms, camps, after school programs, or high interest days. Each student creates their own colorful light-up "Hello My name Is" style name tag.
