Let's get Crafty: Fusing Cosplay and Maker Culture

Home: California, United States

Want to make your Maker Faire experience shine, with a light-up LED you made? Get inspired to try cosplay? Need an emergency fix at Maker Faire? Hands-on activity: Educate people to get into cosplay and electronics skills! I teach the premiere Intro to Cosplay course in makerspaces; As a maker professor, visitors can make and take home LED throwies and light-up cards, and learn about electronics. Maker repair station: Things will fail. I've provided a fully-stocked cosplay repair station for anything a cosplayer & maker may need! Interactive exhibit: Fully interactive props and cosplays, like lightsabers & glowing clothing, all to empower a visitor's creativity.

What Inspired You to Make This?

I'm passionate about empowering those to get crafty, and learn skills that spark their imagination; cosplay, or dressing up as characters from books, TV, games, etc, is one of those borne of love, and I love seeing the creativity of blending fashion, costume design, engineering, art, and more, in their outfits!
