Period
# 5 – Exploring Computer Science: E-Textiles
Wednesday, February 14, 2018
Objective:
(introduce electronic sewing and
stitching a wearable parallel circuit that includes a switch.)
In this activity you will:
• Use conductive
thread to sew electronic components
• Design and
create a working parallel circuit with three lights
• Demonstrate how
a switch works to turn electricity flow on and off
• Apply problem
solving process to determine the appropriate steps for the project.
• 
Engage in
discussions on why particular set of instructions work or not work.
• Use various
methods to create a circuit
