Since I started this class that I wanted to explore electronics with jewelry/accessories.
I had order some solar cells. They arrived this week and I decided to explore them, learn how to use them to create energy to build a necklace with light ( using led's)
From the previous description of what energy is for me, I decided to explore the concept of light and put the other two on the side ( water and people).
On the other hand, I thought that doing something for me and starting to use electronics ( breaking the fear) was a way to give me energy ( and i need lot) by learning and exploring new things.
The experience was great! I learned that isn't in one day that we learn how to work with delicate things, such solar cells. I have to say that I though that was much easier and even if I didn't manage to finish the necklace, I did the circuit working on the breadboard and I did a prototype of the necklace at least to people see the effect that I wanted to produce.
And I was happy! Happy because in one day I was able to understand how solar cells work ( thanks Alice for the schematic and information in your blog), built the circuit and built the necklace re-using material that I had at home ( i did some jewelry before).
I will post photos here but I left the camera in my locker, at school.
