Dr. Mike Eisenberg and Graduate Students Craft Technology Group

Nwanua Elumeze, Jaime Catchem, Mike Eisenberg, Leah Buechley

Doctoral Students Leah Buechley and Nwanua Elumeze, in the Craft Technology Lab, led by Dr. Mike Eisenberg, created a week-long Science Discovery Wearable Electronics Course. Middle school students worked with a range of cutting-edge technologies such as electrically conductive thread and push-button switches. Students also used laser cutters to cut mathematical functions out of fabric See what we did.

Dr. Eisenberg's "Craft Technology Group" is part of CU's Department of Computer Science. The group is working on educational technologies such as Smart Tiles and Boda Blocks, programmable luminescent tiles and animated cubes.

The Wearable Electronics class was a collaboration between CU Science Discovery, the Computer Science Department and CU's School of Education. Computer Science supplied the technology and School of Education collected data and statistics for research.
