The soldering project for this year is not quite finished yet, but I can already reveal a tip of the veil.

The soldering project kit is called the Chameleon, or Chameleon  in pas. dat English

The soldering project kit is called the Chameleon, in English. Naturally, colors are involved, which explains the name.

The Chameleon is interactive again: You can vary the colors of the Chameleon's LED by pressing a button. Additionally, it is possible to activate a motion sensor, causing the Chameleon's color to change in response to movement. The PCB can be worn on clothing, so the components can be mounted using semi-surface mounting, but it is also possible to build the PCB using traditional methods. Furthermore, the Chameleon has a few contact points for connecting external switches for color change. These points, as well as the motion sensor, offer possibilities for games.
