Projektinfo

Wearable Technology for Youth that can be made by Youth including proximity badges based on their interests and skills.

I am exploring innovative ways that youth can literally wear their skills and interests on their sleeves. I am working with top researchers on supporting youth in their passionate interests and one area that we want to explore is wearable technology fashion that allows youth to share with others what their areas of interests are and discover others with those same interests when in close proximity by using various outputs including LEDs, sound, etc.
