Make It, Wearable Electronics! (3PDH’s Included)
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:
Three (3) ISBE state-approved professional development hours (PDH’s) will be provided by IDEA
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.
