hello mini badge - display your name in style


The hello mini badge is a new and simple mini badge to display your name in style. It's an easy kit to build, and this is your opportunity to both get your hands on one, and to solder it together with experts on hand. There are four easy solder joints to make, and a bit of sticky tape. You can even use one of our jigs to hold everything in straight while you solder it.

Once you've assembled it, the badge will display text, images or even video, in pure monochrome. You can create a name on the badge itself or you can bring a laptop and put smoother and more complex images and video on it. This workshop will be about assembling the badge, but the creator will be on hand to help with any software issues you may run into.
