Elecrical Engineering Building, Room 105
UW Campus
Wish I’d found out about this earlier, but it just came across my inbox an hour ago. If you’re anywhere near the UW campus around 3ish today, then head down to the Electrical Engineering Building, room 105, to see Leah Buechley speak. Buechley is a post-doc researcher at the University of Colorado at Boulder, investigating ubiquitous computing and e-textiles. She’ll be focusing specifically on a super-cool toolkit called the Lilypad Arduino, which allows everyday folks to build wearable “soft computers” by sewing differnet modules (microcontrollers, sensors, etc.) together with conductive thread. Drop whatever you’re doing, leave work and head down there right away!
