Express Yourself Creatively with E-textiles With Lee Jones | Making A Difference Speaker Series 9

Welcome to the live session! We are thrilled to announce our next speaker series session with the amazing Lee Jones, a Ph.D. student at the Creative Interactions Lab at Carleton University, researching wearables, e-textiles, and co-design. E-textiles (electronic textiles) are interactive textiles with sensing and actuating properties. Imagine textiles that can sense touch, change colour, play music, or shift into different shapes, all while remaining soft and flexible. The unique aspect of e-textiles is that these fibres and materials can be combined with textile crafting techniques to make technologies that fit seamlessly into our lives, making them invisible. We are looking forward to having Lee share her outstanding research exploring how artists and crafters can use e-textiles for their expressive and creative potentials. Please join us on Thursday, October 7th, at 1:30 pm AST. Students, teachers and parents are encouraged to join independently or in groups. About the Speaker: Lee Jones is a Ph.D. student with the Creative Interactions Lab at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. In her research, she uses participatory design and creates easy-to-use toolkits so that individuals can build prototypes and have a say in the direction of their own technologies. In her thesis research, she is developing toolkits for prototyping wearable e-textiles. She also loves running e-textile workshops in makerspaces, art galleries and community organizations under the name Electro-Stitches.
