Electrify Your Gear: A Roots Collaboration
About the Workshop
During this basic introduction to sewing with conductive thread and LEDs you’ll build a simple circuit that will illuminate when you’re done. No experience with sewing required! Take a break from looking at a computer screen and try this tactile form of creativity using technology. Each attendee will be able to bring their circuit home with them.
We’ll be sewing by hand and all materials will be provided, but if you have a shirt, fabric, or other item (e.g., hat) you would like to use instead of a Co-Lab t-shirt, feel free to bring it to the workshop.
This workshop is part of “Textile Week,” a collaboration with the Roots workshop series.

About the Location
The TEC (Technology Engagement Center) Classroom is in the Telcom Building. To get there, just walk down the stairs from Perkins/Bostock like you’re heading towards CIEMAS. When you get to the road halfway down, make a right and Telcom is the building ahead of you to the left. The Technology Engagement Center is the first floor, so just enter in the front of the building. The classroom is to the right of the entrance, adjacent to the center circular room.
