Attention NYC-area makers! If you’ve been dying to break into the world of wearable electronics, but weren’t sure how to get started, Eyebeam and Becky Stern from Adafruit have the perfect class for you: Tech+Textile: An Introduction to Wearable Electronics Workshop.
Learn the basics of making your own wearable electronics! Join Adafruit’s Becky Stern for a hands-on tech+textile workshop using the FLORA Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Get an up-close look at many of the electronic fashions showcased in Adafruit’s tutorials (Becky will bring a garment rack of goodies for show and tell), and get a glimpse of the vast creative possibilities of the FLORA platform. Then dive in with your own FLORA Budget Pack for a guided intro to programming your own colorful LED animations. You’ll leave the workshop inspired to incorporate electronics into your own designs, and with enough momentum to be able to follow/customize any Adafruit FLORA tutorial!
