24/02-02/03/2019 - Εκπαιδευτικό Πρόγραμμα | Electronic textiles in youth work (Γαλλία)

Electronic textiles in youth work is a training course for youth practitioners interested in maker education. Participants will exchange best practices and experiment hands-on workshops on maker education, notably on electronics, coding, and e-textiles.

The rationale behind this training course is to introduce youth practitioners to techniques and methods revolving around technology, arts and crafts, to combine the pedagogical benefits of these approaches to non formal education. In the long run, we expect to contribute to boosting young people's digital literacy as well as other 21st century competencies.

The training course will focus heavily on practical hands-on activities. Some of these will involve use of computer numeric controlled machines such as 3D printers and laser cutter. Examples of practical workshops which will be held on the occasion of the training course are:

• Introduction to electronics and coding (building simple electronic devices using sensors and actuators)
• Introduction to visual/block coding softwares (ex. mBlock, Scratch for Arduino)
• Introduction to electronic textiles
• Creating e-textile devices such as augmented tote bags, interactive pluches, plush video-game controllers
• Experimentation of modern educational tools on electronics and computing (ex. programmable toys)
• Introduction to digital fabrication (laser cutting, 3D printing, etc.)

This training activity is funded by: The Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme.
