Let your geek shine.

Meet Leah Buechley, developer of LilyPad—a

sew-able microcontroller—and fellow geek. Leah

used SparkFun products and services while she

developed her LilyPad prototype.

The tools are out there, from LEDs to conductive

thread, tutorials to affordable PCB fabrication,

and of course Leah’s LilyPad. Find the resources

you need to let your geek shine too.
