A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/diybooklamp.
Feel free to ask any questions.

On Monday we are hosting the first ever meetup for the #Aberdeen #Wikipedia, #Wikidata and #Wikicommons communities.

More details, and how to join us here:

Please share with anyone who might be interested.

Hope to see you all there!

Join us tomorrow in #Aberdeen to hear from industry expert and researcher, Dina Fajardo how we can inspire the next generation coders and data scientists.
