 Jane McCann from the Smart Clothes and Wearable Technology (SCWT) group at Newport School of Art, Media and Design is working with The Textile Institute to develop accredited training materials for students and industry practitioners, as smart textiles merge with embedded wearable technology.
Jane explains, "This type of training aims to break down the boundaries in devising a new cross-disciplinary, design-led teaching and learning materials that merge science and technology and attract both male and female learners."
Further development of training will involve input from industry experts, potential employers and sector skills councils to provide the way forward for a new generation of SCWT products.
