Details

Wearable technologies are becoming common devices for increasing our quality of life, but designing them requires an understanding of electronics, energy, design, and their potential users. Teachers will learn about different electronics platforms that can be used in the classroom and will learn how designing a wearable device can be used to teach a number of important concepts through an engaging project. Materials used in the workshop will be available for teachers to take this project to their classrooms to engage students in the design process. Teachers will be encouraged to enter their students in the Penn State Wearable Device Challenge, scheduled for May of 2019.
