Wearable tech & microcontrollers
Students prototype a wearable device with a sewable microcontroller, LEDs and sensors — combining electronics, code and design.
What's covered
- Circuits with a sewable microcontroller and conductive thread
- Driving LEDs and reading a sensor in code
- Designing a wearable form factor
- Testing and refining the finished device
Overview
An electronics unit with a creative payoff: students design and build a working wearable, learning circuits and code in a context they care about. Classroom-tested end to end.
What students build
A functioning wearable device — lit and responsive — plus documentation of their circuit and code.
