Activities

api

Le Bonnet De Soi Exhibition - The silk cap, evokes the strong and episodic links that Geneva has forged with silk.

  • E-textiles Introduction

The lecture by Cristina Olivotto introduces the participants to e-textile hands-on activities, giving them an overview about materials, electronics and programming.

  • Hands-on: Crafting Soft Sensors

Participants will learn how to design and craft their own soft circuits and sensors, experimenting with conductive fabrics, threads and electronics.

  • Hands-on: Making Sense of Sensors

In the making sense of sensors workshop, participants will finally learn how to control, program and embed their soft circuits into interactive garments and wearables.

  • Focus Groups

Researching and experimenting together. Participants will ideate & develop a project in a team along with experts and participants around the topics tackled in the program and during the week.
