Wearables and Smart Textiles

Wearables and Smart Textiles course is designed to help learners develop a strong understanding of how electronics can be integrated into clothing, accessories, and fabric-based projects. Creating interactive wearables requires a combination of circuit knowledge, material selection, programming skills, and thoughtful design. This course provides a structured and beginner-friendly learning experience that helps students build confidence in working with conductive materials, connecting wearable components, and developing responsive textile prototypes.

Throughout the course, learners will explore essential concepts, including conductive thread, electronic textiles, wearable microcontrollers, LEDs, sensors, flexible connections, and portable power. The programme focuses on practical project development, allowing students to understand how fabrics and electronic components work together to create light, feedback, and interactive behaviour. As learners progress, they will improve their ability to design comfortable layouts, troubleshoot textile circuits, and create their own wearable technology projects.
