Lab 1: Creating a circuit

For the first lab we were asked to create a circuit using conductive thread, felt, a battery and an LED. I started by creating a drawing with a pen in order to mark the path for the thread to be, I used a simple stitch in order to make the path and reach the far end of the felt.

I decided to keep the battery holder in order for the lab to be easier to complete and I used a blue LED with the twisted legs so that I could sew it to the corner of the felt. Once the positive side of the battery was connected to the long leg of the LED and the negative side of the battery was connected to the short leg of the LED I was able to close the circuit and light up the LED.
