Bright Idea: Circuit Stickers Preview
MAKE pal, Maker Shed technical advisor, and all-around maker hero Andrew “bunnie” Huang is collaborating with MIT Media Lab Ph.D. student Jie Qi on a fascinating project, Chibitronics Circuit Stickers. They’re exactly what they sound like – stickers with embedded circuitry that you can stick onto copper tape and other conductive materials to create simple circuits. I foresee this becoming a popular way to not only build simple electronics projects on flexible materials, but to teach basic circuit skills as well.

Maker Pro “Master Class” With Bunnie Huang
This month’s Hardware Innovation Workshop (May 14-15) offers an impressive line-up of speakers, presentations, workshops, and product demos all aimed at showcasing innovation and the maker ecosystem–fundraising, strategic partners, technology, and manufacturing options. If you’re involved in the business of making, the Hardware Innovation Workshop is a one-of-a kind event. But if you can’t make it to both days, there’s a special a la carte option featuring Bunny Huang.
The $12 Cellphone
