SeamLS and learning materials are easily available online and can be adapted to various high school STEAM programs and classroom settings. It has been designed for educators to learn first, with each lesson containing an overview, step-by-step lesson plans, accompanying PowerPoint slides, videos, printable handouts, and links to suggested materials that support hands-on learning. The curriculum materials are flexible and can be integrated into existing curricula in part or whole! Use it to host a hackathon, design challenge, or problem-solve with a case study.
The SeamLS curriculum sits at the intersection of textiles/fashion and functional technology, two high-interest areas for students. The goal is to inspire the next generation of engineers and innovators by creating a hands-on educational experience that exposes high school students to the engineering and design process to create a prototype using advanced fabrics.
