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.

Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
