It bundles the key elements of their range all together, with some additional materials (sticky tabs, velcro stickers, paper cutouts).
The idea is that it opens striking new ways to turn surfaces and materials into sensors and trigger programmable responses.

Electric paint
What is ‘electric paint’ exactly. Bare Conductive says it dry at room temperature within 10-15 minutes and is easily removable with soap and water. Apparently, you can seal it with acrylic paint or spray varnish, and it can “last years if treated properly and kept dry”.
It works on paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, glass, some rubbers and even textiles…
Thanks to Dave B. for highlighting this.
