Special topics: new textiles

Two sessions / week: 3 hours for 1st session, 1 hour for 2nd session

The longer session each week will tend to focus on in-class activities requiring more time, while the shorter session will tend to feature guest lecturers.

While useful, prior experience with textiles, electronics, and programming is not required.
