Robotic Pocket Workshop at Eyebeam

Robotic Pocket Workshop with
Robot Clothes / Michelle Kempner and James Powderly
6:30-8:30pm
Drinks and discussion 8:30-9:00pm

This workshop will teach participants the basics of wearable computing materials (conductive fabrics, thread and fasteners) through the fabrication and assembly of a robotic pocket that crawls on clothing. The workshop will teach a combination of basic sewing and electronics skills for participants to use in the creation of their own interesting wearable applications. The pocket will be constructed from digitally fabricated plastic motor assemblies, conductive silk, thread and other commonly available fabric and hardware.

Workshops fees are $25 ($20 for Eyebeam members) with participation limited and available on a first come, first served basis. All workshops take place at Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues in Chelsea.
