This is the first class in the Wearables series that introduces the art and design concepts that go into wearable technology. We will also explore light and touch sensors. In this series, we focus on building soft circuits and embedding sensor technology into garments to make reactive/interactive fashion apparel. Requirements: Purchase of a base Lilypad wearable kits commercially (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12922) or from New Media Gallery ($60) plus specific tools required per workshop This series will also teach coding using Arduino and Processing software.
