Abstract

The LilyPad Arduino toolkit enables novices to design, engineer, and build their own electronic textiles. The tool not only lets artists and craftspeople experience computational design but also gives children and teenagers a chance to develop longer-term interest in computing and engineering in a fun, creative setting.
