LED night light

For one of my makerspace projects, I made a LED night light. The first thing that I did was create the box in Inkscape. I put a level in the middle of the box so I could later put the LED strip on it. After this, I designed the heart. The only difficulty with this was connecting the heart to the words in a way that flowed together nicely because I could not put the heart in the same font as the letter and just type it in. I then soldered wires to a raspberry pi pico. This was new for me and a little difficult. After that, I soldered the other side of the wires to the LED strip. I connected the raspberry pi to the bottom of the box with little screws and put the LED strip on the second level of the box. Dr. Urbano then uploaded code onto the raspberry pi to show the rainbow on the LED strip, which lit up the heart.
