99-360 IDeATe: E-Textiles

1 units, Carnegie Mellon University

PLEASE NOTE: The specific meeting dates for the A2 section of this micro course are Saturdays Oct 31, Nov 7, and Nov 14. Electronics and Textiles are both pervasive aspects of our lives. At first they might seem like opposites. One is thought of as rigid, structured, and high tech while the other is viewed as soft, flexible, and one of our oldest technologies. In this workshop students will learn how combining these two opens a world of possibilities. We will cover multiple approaches for robustly constructing soft circuits and sensors as well as the unique challenges associated with adding electronics to a textile and adding flexibility to a circuit. Students will construct several swatches to explore techniques and materials.
