The workshop starts with a short presentation on how to grow the biofilm Kombucha using simple ingredients as sugar and green tea. With this material we'll create a wearable, sewing electronic components as sensors and LEDs using conductive thread. For the interaction we will use the microcontrollers Lilypad, getting some data and transforming it in visualization.

The workshop will give people the chance to create their own device, cloth and accessories with a biodegradable material.  It will opens the mind to empower ourselves to change the way we relate with the industry and nature. Let's play with electronics on the fabric while we can not programme the biomaterial itself!
