Develop and modify code

Sustainable fabrics for wearable technology

Integrate a micro:bit into a wearable product

Manufacture a wearable product

Test and evaluate a wearable product

Pupils will deepen their understanding of systems and control. They will be introduced to engineered fabrics and the associated manufacturing processes. This knowledge and understanding will be applied through the design and manufacture of a wearable technology product.

Functional prototypes: wearable technology

a device that can be programmed to control how an electrical product operates

a sequence of instructions used to control electrical components.

a signal that is sent back in a loop, depending upon a condition
