Soft Circuits: Switches, Sensors, and Code
Description
In this workshop, participants will explore the intersection of textiles and electronics by creating soft switches and sensors using traditional textile techniques. We will experiment with fabric-based circuitry and cover basic coding for animating your etextile creations with sewable microcontrollers. This workshop is ideal for artists, designers, and makers interested in soft circuitry, e-textiles, and wearable technology with a basic understanding of circuitry. Enrollment in SDA's "Soft Circuits: ETextile Basics (101) or the equivalent experience recommended.
