[Reflection] Working with Smart Material

Heat sensitive fabric: one of my favorite smart materials. 
I find it simple and serves a introduction of technology to students. 

Creating the simple circuit proves not to be so simple as I expected. I enjoyed using the conductive pen. However, my design was not well designed so I had a lot of difficulty making the LED light to light up. Though it was hard, I find it really rewarding the moment the light went on. Technology can be so frustrating at times but it really challenges me and enable me to develop my problem solving skill. 

I really like the video presentation showing different types of smart materials and high technology. It really opens up my mind and promts me to consider the types of technology to introduce to students. The concept of paper as smart material is particularly interesting.
