In thinking about my final project, I thought about the trade shows and field-specific conferences where people are given badges that end up getting thrown away. These badges typically serve a number of purposes including identification of the participant (name, position, organization), workshop registration barcodes, business card holder, conference agenda, etc. For this project, I want to re-invision what “badges” would look like if they were created to connect people. My goal was to create a visual badge/artifact that involves a visual representation of connecting people through trading NeoPixels. Tools: Flora Neopixel, conductive thread
