Wearable Technology & Body Integration

Design and build clothing and accessories that integrate electronics, sensors, and responsive systems while maintaining comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Learn textile techniques that accommodate electronics including conductive thread work, flexible circuit integration, and washable electronic systems. Practice human-centered design that considers body movement, comfort, and cultural appropriateness in wearable technology applications. Develop skills in battery management, wireless connectivity, and user interface design for body-worn systems. Create wearable projects that demonstrate technology's potential for personal expression and community connection rather than surveillance or optimization.
