Wearables and E-textiles Hack day

5926037286 6ddda6aab3 oWould you like to attend a wearables and e-textiles, exploring how combining fabric and computers can make for interesting projects?

Want a belt that vibrates to lead you to free food? Or a suit which glows different colours based on your heart rate? How about a jacket sleeve that lights up when you're pointing North?

Head along to this Hack day and you can learn how to do just that (or at least make a start on it...).

If you’re a beginner and wanting to try something new, get hands on with our e-textile kits to make a simple, wearable soft circuit.

Explore how digital fabrication can be used to make wearable textile projects, from laser cut fabric and tools to automated looms such as the knitic. (http://www.instructables.com/id/Circular-Knitic/).

Don't know about electronics or computers? Don't worry, there'll be some Arduino physical computing kits to play around with, and people to help show you how. Learn how you could use Arduino and lilypads to make more advanced projects.

Bring a project to work on, start something new or find out what wearable projects members of DOES have been working on at a show and tell.

It's an informal day of learning and making - some of the things we expect include...

• people working on projects of their own, looking for help from fellow attendees

• people joining up with someone else on the day to share skills and make something

...something you'd like to run?
