In this imaginative, hands-on wearable technology activity, offered in partnership with members of Carleton University’s Creative Interaction[s] Lab, youth participants become wearable-tech inventors! Using familiar gadgets like fitness trackers or game accessories, participants explore how devices work and imagine exciting new purposes for them. With guided support, participants safely take apart discarded tech, learn how the pieces work, and dream up their own creative wearable designs. Best of all, they get to take their unique creation home.
A creative, confidence-building maker adventure for young designers!
