Glowing LED Team Badge for Pokemon Go
Use Circuit Playground to make your own night-time safety + team spirit wearable!
by R. Albritton
Pokemon GO has shown us that people can really go crazy over running around our cities bent on catching imaginary animals. It has also shown us that people are going crazy over chasing down said animals at all hours of the night and not always paying attention to what is going on around them. This is amplified when we are talking about children that are having a blast literally trying to catch them all. Build a safety light that's also a lovely way to show team spirit with this no-solder project!
