Title: Edu Wear Starter kit: Wearable intelligence – for clothes, sports
and games
Description: A short, but significant resource description:
Through the EduWear EU project, Smart Textiles have become an important
component of the TechKreativ program. As part of this project, a toolkit was
developed, which is supposed to make access to Information and Communication
Technology easier. In this context young people can actively shape and co-design
technologies and learn how to use them in a confident and competent manner.
