Syuzi Pakhchyan is the guest on Future Tense. She's author of the new book Fashioning Technology: A DIY Intro to Smart Crafting.

UPDATE: Keith Braafladt from the Science Museum of Minnesota writes,

"We've been working a bit with Leah Buechley who's done a lot of work with craft technologies and is now at the MIT Media Lab.

We just happen to be running a class next week called Smarty Pants for 13-16 year-olds. We'll be using the Lilly-pad, a programmable sewing machine and design software

Here's the description:

Smarty Pants
Import your own freehand illustrations into computer software, then digitally sew your creation onto belts, bags, or t-shirts. Add a circuit using conductive thread and some LEDs to create your own blinking fashions.

Kristen Murray (director of Learning Technologies Center at the Science Museum) will be leading the class."

Thanks, Keith!
