Session description

How do you ensure every student finds a thread of interest to pull them into the tapestry of STEAM education? E-textiles! Picture a shirt that monitors heart rate or shorts that guide running pace—merely the tip of the iceberg of possibilities with e-textiles. E-textiles weave together textiles, computer science, engineering, and art, revealing new avenues for student engagement in STEAM. Not only do e-textiles capture student attention, but they also open doors to a plethora of career opportunities in fields such as automotive, fashion, and medical. Let's unravel the potential of e-textiles in education and discover how to weave this innovative strategy into your STEAM programs.
