Program Description

Teens will design silhouettes on a computer, which will then be cut out on the Glowforge Laser Engraver or Cricut Machine to create the beginnings of a greeting card. The top layer will consist of the cutout, followed by colorful layers of tissue paper, backed by a paper frame filled with circuitry and LEDs which will light up the background. Paper, coin cell batteries, LED lights, scissors and glue will be provided.
