LED clouds can be programmed to change color based on a wide array of variables: temperature, distance, light, acoustics, voice and more. Students will learn to color code an LED cloud based on their choice of input ….and control it from anywhere. For example, students could learn to have the cloud be blue when the temperature calls for rain or students could color code it to change colors based on their voice! The possibilities are endless! It’s a color competition!
