Sewable Circuits Unit
Unit Overview:
This unit introduces students to the exciting world of soft circuits, where electronics and textiles come together to create interactive designs. Young makers will learn how to incorporate LED lights into fabric-based projects using conductive thread, simple circuitry, and basic sewing techniques. By blending creativity with hands-on engineering, students will explore the fundamentals of circuits while designing their own light-up creations. This project fosters an early understanding of electronics, encourages precision and patience, and introduces new possibilities for wearable technology.
Key Learning Outcomes:
Understanding the basics of circuits (power, conductivity, LEDs)
Learning how to sew with conductive thread to complete a circuit
Exploring the intersection of engineering, design, and textiles
Strengthening fine motor skills through stitching and assembly
Encouraging creativity and problem-solving through wearable technology
