Stitch Fest

I was the director of the team that organized Stitch Fest. Stitch Fest took place during and in conjunction with PennApps, the premier college hackathon hosted every semester at the University of Pennsylvania. StitchFest was offered for the first time in Spring 2014. Entrepreneurs, designers, and developers innovated for the design challenge: “Wear & Care". Teams worked with the LilyPad Arduino, an electronic textile construction kit, and a set of components such as a wireless module, various sensors and actuators ready to interface with the kit. All materials were provided to teams free of charge thanks to the generous support of IBM.
