			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just returned from the <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~plusea/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/web.media.mit.edu');">Kit-of-No-Parts</a> workshop at MIT, hosted by Hannah Perner-Wilson of the wonderful High-Low Tech lab. She showed us how to make handcrafted electronics, and I discovered the wonders of thermochromatic paint!</p>

<p>The way it works is super simple. You draw a circuit with conductive paint under a layer of thermochromatic paint. Then you run electricity through your circuit, which makes it heat up and the thermochromatic paint changes color. I decided to try drawing a tree that would &#8220;grow&#8221; leaves when I completed the circuit.</p>

<p>My conductive drawing was pretty big, and it took a lot of power to make it heat up enough for the thermochromatic paint to change color.</p>

<p>On my second attempt, I decided to try working on a smaller scale, and I made a cherry blossom tree bloom.</p>
