Introduce students to computational thinking and coding concepts through hands-on weaving and pattern design. With these creative, low-cost, hands-on activities, students can draw connections between fabric patterns and algorithms and coding, highlighting the Jacquard looms that were a precursor to punch cards and programming. In part one of this session, participants will try unplugged hands-on weaving activities, starting with an investigation of common fabric weaves. We’ll figure out the patterns, map them on graph paper, and then weave them on...
