This course will introduce students to circuits as they use various electronic components combined with textiles to assist in the creation/modification of smart clothes.

Students will be able to express themselves through a combination of engineering and art while learning many new skills; from sewing and making to electronics.

This course will give students a basic understanding of soft circuits through a project. Students can then carry that understanding into the creation of additional projects and activities. 

What you'll get:

• 1 Wearables & Soft Computing Kit for the teacher
  *You can purchase additional kits for students at $35 each. There may be an additional cost for shipments outside of IL.
• Comprehensive Lessons to Engage Students in Wearable Electronics Projects
• Foundational understanding in basics of electronics and soft circuits
• Guidance to create your own “smart” wearable, plushie, or other fabric object. (i.e. a shirt with blinking LEDs, felt monster with light up eyes, etc.)
• Three (3) ISBE state-approved professional development hours (PDH's) will be provided by IDEA
