Smart Fashion and Learning about Digital Culture
Milena Reichel, Heidi Schelhowe, Torsten Grüter · 2006
In this paper we summarize our results of analysing different construction materials and programming languages in robotic workshops and present a solution how to enhance the “Handy Crickets ” technology to be used for a different application domain namely smart fashion. Smart fashion proved to be a topic equally attractive for girls and boys. We describe our experiments in workshops with children and their parents where we used the combination of smart fashion and robotic materials with software that is designed to allow free programming in very different application domains.
