What you’ll do

In this interactive workshop, you'll create wearable electronic devices that will challenge the limits of your body.

Professional designers will take you through the main steps involved in any design process, including responding to a brief, generating ideas, prototyping and refining what you make.

You’ll work in small groups as well as independently. Everyone will have the opportunity to learn how to build simple interactive technology, working with electronics including littleBits.

About your facilitators

These workshops will be led by professional designers from the company Hirsch & Mann, which has worked with Adidas, Google, Nike and Beats.

Who can come

All young people aged 14–19 are welcome, on your own or in small groups. If you’re arriving with a parent, they can drop you off at the door.
