I was asked to develop a two part lecture on eTextiles and Wearables for Fabricademy, an international fashion-focused course series at the intersection of textiles, digital fabrication, and biology. I gave these lectures in the fall of 2018 and 2019.

eTextiles + Wearables I


 
This lecture is the first eTextile and wearable class developed for Fabricademy 2018. The focus of this class was:

  • Circuits
  • Materials
  • Tools
  • Connections
  • Sensors
  • Programming

You can see the full lecture and notes on the course section here.
 

 

eTextiles + Wearables II


 
This lecture is the second eTextile and wearable class developed for Fabricademy 2018. The focus of this class was:

  • Actuators
    • visual (LEDs, neopixels, fiber optics, thermochromic inks)
    • sound (fabric speakers)
    • motion (SMAs, flip dots, vibration motors)
  • ATtiny
    • programming
    • circuits (touch + sensing, sound, EMFs)
