Wearable Electronics 101

As part of the partnership with UPOU, University of the Philippines we developed a hands-on workshop Wearable Electronics 101 for the students in Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Studies .

This Wearable Electronics 101 workshop explores making interactive add-ons to clothing using electronic components and e-textiles. It explains some basic techniques about making a wearable project and gives tips and tricks how to start. Participants get an introduction on the basics of coding and microcontrollers, as well as some specific materials for making electronics more soft and human-centred. Each participant gets to develop their own small project.

Participating SEADS members

Ann Peeters

Ann has a background in performance arts and has earned her spurs in the Brussels social sector, focusing on playful and engaging language learning techniques, as well as digital inclusion and social innovation.

Until 2018, she coordinated Fablab and Medialab Brussels. Her enthusiasm inspires (young) innovators to explore new technologies and take on (social) challenges, preferably through a co-creation approach.

She currently works at a local Brussels ngo TADA to enlarge impact for a more inclusive society.

She has been involved in several SEADS projects and enjoys the overlap of tinkering and social interaction, as well as the new horizons a transdisciplinary approach offers.

You could also bump into her on a swing dancing event or at a game table. Ann loves Brussels for its diversity and unexpected encounters. Her hidden agenda is somewhat anarcho-feminist.
