Okay so my title is a bit silly, but I am so glad that I stumbled upon the Wearit Berlin Event because it has opened my eyes to many new concepts, ideas, and new love for #wearables #techwear. Now I'd really would like to open your world up with this company called Adafruit ever heard of them? I've been exploring there website and it could take several hours to figure out what DIY electronic wearables project that I would like to try out first. The company was founded in 2005 by MIT engineer, Limor Fried. This NY base company is flourishing in open source electronic kits for people to do at home. In addition to getting down with Adafruit it's all about that Raspberry Pi, which is from my understanding two concepts: an educational charity foundation based in UK and it is "a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV and uses a standard keyboard and mouse...it's capable of doing everything you'd expect a desktop computer to do." (Raspberry Pi Foundation) This device will enable a user to be able to make there own wearable electronics and more.
Here are some examples of Adafruit tutorials:

There are approximately 607+ tutorials. When I have sometime I'd love to make my sneakers light up! Join Adafruit network and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Hope this was a nice intro to this concept as I read more I will post more on this subject matter.
