The Instructions

Introduction

In this section, we will break the ice with the participant by trying to attract them through questions to have their attention to what we will be delivering.

1- We will ask the participant a general question about Wearable and if they were ever heard about it before or even used it.

  • Most of the participant will give ignorant expression but however through giving hint they will start telling that they know it and they are using it every day.

2- Then we will Present the Wearable technology for the participant.

3- Then we will introduce the participant to the Internet of thing (IOT) as a concept aims to connect every thing through internet to be accessed from everywhere through one click.

 

4- Then we will show a video to the participant showing what is Wearable technology.

Wearable technology

In this section we will show some of the technologies been associated with wearable technology like the flex circuits and how does this tech, play a good role in the field of wearable.

1- We will start by showing a video of the conductive threads used in fashion to create circuits using sewing threads.

2- Then we will give a brief about the flex circuit technology as a flex PCB’s been manufactured using flex conductive technology, and it’s not widely spread due to its highly cost of manufacture compared to normal bulk PCB’s.

 

3- Then we will ask the participant about a quote and hear their opinion and if they agree with it.

 

Compass

In this section we will introduce the participant to the compass as a technology can be embed in many wearable technology.

1- We will start by introducing the compass to the participant as a device been invented centuries ago, and it depends on the earth poles to determine the direction of the north as the compass needle aims toward the North Pole of the earth.

 

2- Then we will present a video for the participant to clarify the working principle of the compass.

3- Then we will give a brief regarding the Micro-Bit Board, and we will present a video for the participant to clarify the board more.

Practice

In this section we will show the participant the steps we will make to create a compass simulation through coding a Micro-Bit board on Make code platform.

1- We will show the participant what we will be doing on the platform, then we will introduce them to the platform.
