• Use recycled materials to make a bird house or a bird feeder.
• Be a fashion designer! Create your own t-shirt, outfit or jewelry.
• Can you create a vest or a t-shirt that lights up in the dark so that people can see you?
• Use your knowledge of Paper Circuits to create a card that lights up.
• Use your knowledge of circuits and a Makey Makey to create your own game controller.
