3- Advanced Circuit playground

 

The Instructions

Wearable Technology

In this section, we will go through wearable technology and its types.

1- We will start by Ice breaking with the participant.

 

2- Then we will go through what is meant by wearables’ technology.

“Wearable are devices incorporated into items that can be comfortably worn on a body”.
