In this 2 days workshop participants will be introduced to wearable technology, special flexible and conductive material (conductive fabrics, threads, yarns and other soft and squishy materials and, basic electronics.
Fist of all we will introduce this universe through examples and demonstrations of wearable projects. We will present techniques for flexible circuitry and develop together a small soft circuit.
The participants receive a kit with a pair of gloves, an led and material to stich a soft circuit. With this limitation each participant or group should come up with an interesting idea to create interaction and ligh the led.
