Exploring Electronics at the MIT Media Lab

This is our first week looking at electronics. We explore the possibilities of electronics and computer programming at the MIT Media Lab. We visit Karen A. Brennan at the Lifelong Kindergarten Group and Leah Buechley of the High-Low Tech Group.

FAIRYTALE FASHION- I will be making magical clothes for Fairytale Fashion. These might be clothes that have blooming flowers, living clothes that breathe, change color, transform. And guess what, YOU will be leading the design! Fairytale Fashion depends on your participation. How do you participate? Each Monday, FairytaleFashion.org will have a new video that introduces a technology like inflatables, deployable structures, muscle wire and microcontrollers. At the end of each video is a design question. Answer the weekly design questions on our website at http://fairytalefashion.org/

Duration : 0:7:8
