Snappable sensors: empowering future scientists.

Snappable Sensors is an e-textile toolkit designed to support student engagement with math and science learning in public school classrooms. Our design focuses on combining real-world materials, such as felt and conductive thread, with inexpensive microprocessors and sensors to strike a critical balance---enabling students to build their own sensing system and collect their own data for subsequent analysis while meeting the pragmatic economic constraints of public middle and high schools in the United States. Initial testing shows that our prototype instigates strong interest in learning. Snappable Sensors is a low cost, durable, and engaging solution that can help build students' math and science skills.
