Soft Circuits & Smart Textiles: An Introductory Workshop on Wearable Electronics
Thursday, October 2 & Friday, October 10 from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces participants to the world of electronic textiles (E-Textiles), combining elements of electronics, textiles, and programming. Participants will explore the history, materials, and applications of E-Textiles through demos and hands-on activities. They will learn basic techniques like conductive embroidery, integrating microcontrollers, and using knitted sensors to create interactive textile projects. The workshop culminates in a creative session where participants apply their new skills to design and build their own E-Textile piece.
Learn how to integrate electronics into fabric using embroidery, bonding, and knitted conductive materials. Experiment with sensors, LEDs, and microcontrollers to create your own interactive textile piece. No prior experience in electronics, textiles, or coding required鈥攋ust curiosity and creativity!
