Drop-In Making: Stuck to Started

Students can build a handmade, tactile cord keychain. It can clip to a backpack zipper, water bottle, or phone lanyard. It’ll encode a short personal message with Morse code represented by beads separated by knots and braiding. The keychain can act as a fidget with the beads and knots you can run your finger along with the bumps and ridges. The message is private, with no wrong answer, and will be meaningful to the maker.
