This workshop focuses on how it is possible to introduce eTextiles as part of a curriculum to create opportunities of  working across the domains of both crafts and technology, reintroducing a historical link between computing, engineering, and traditionally women-led crafting.
Depending on the context, location and background of participants (students, citizens, teachers...) it is possible to tailor this theory/practice workshop to different lenghts of time, varying from 3 hours to 3 days.

Here is the paper summarizing the key aspects of the workshop:
