Abstract

Using tangibles and maker spaces has been found to be beneficial for teaching computing and therefore promoting computational thinking. Since making E-textiles involves many computational activities (connecting cables and coding) in addition to other making activities (sewing and drawing…) E-textiles rather teach computational making. This study explores the learners’ experience while they make e-textile projects. Tracking the feelings and thoughts entertained by the learners during the process of creating tangible projects reveals interesting findings.
