Part of the New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Textile Messages focuses on the emerging field of electronic textiles, or e-textiles – computers that can be soft, colorful, approachable, and beautiful.
E-textiles are articles of clothing, home furnishings, or architectures that include embedded computational and electronic elements.
This book introduces a collection of tools that enable novices – including educators, hobbyists, and youth designers – to create and learn with e-textiles.
It then examines how these tools are reshaping technology education – and DIY practices – across the K-16 spectrum, presenting examples of the ways educators, researchers, designers, and young people are employing them to build new technology, new curricula, and new creative communities.
