I would like to offer something for kids (and possibily adults) to make. I was involved with the Art Engine LED name tags from events past and those were really cool, but I'm looking for something simple I could run myself. Making a blinking LED is the sort of thing I was thinking but this will be outside so LEDs might not work so well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I was wondering if anyone has any simple ideas (cheap / free!) to encourge the maker spirit, and would work well in an ourdoor environment.</p>
