This is a 5-day track focus on Wearable technology and the way Wearable works, in addition to how it related to fashion and its benefits of this technology in the daily life. Also, we will have the chance to introduce Microcontrollers to understand its role in wearable technology.
Days:
In this day we will introduce Wearable technology to the participant in order to understand the way this tech. Works. They will also understand the fields of this technology involved in, in order to understand the variety of applications of this tech. Able to change and affect.
1- At the beginning we will start by an Ice braking question to drive their attention to what we are going to deliver.
“What does wearable means to you?”
Most of the participant hears this term for the first time, and they are not aware of this technology.
In this section we will go through what is meant by wearable technology and its types.
1- We will firstly go through what is meant by Wearable Technology.
“Wearable are devices incorporated into items that can be comfortably worn on a body”.
2- Then we will go through the types of wearable are used and the purpose of using such tech.
“Wearable are used for the purpose of tracking information to be processed for farther analysis.”
3- We can ask the participant to provide an example for a wearable they might see or used?
4- Then we will go through the types wearable have.
In this section we will introduce IOT to the participant and how this technology is improving the fashion industry.
1- We will begin by directing a question to the participant regarding if they have seen this technology around?
“Most of the participant answer will be no”
But they already dealt with this technology as it is used in State of Qatar in every parking area.
2- We will let them know that IOT is referred to every thing connected to the internet especially sensors connected where they keep sending data.
3- Then we will go through some of these sensors that are connected with wearable that can be also connected to the internet.
4- Then we will show them this video about wearable.
In this section we will go through some wearable technology that are involved in the fashion industry and how it benefits the industry.
1- We will introduce the participant to the conductive fabric which is made out of steel threads.
2- Then we will go through the smart clothing industry where smart sensors and smart textile are added for further functionality than the normal traditional use.
3- After that we will introduce the flex circuit where normal circuits are made and printed over flex boards can be added to clothes without feeling that there is solid equipment in your clothes. 
In this section we will introduce the participant to the board that they have to deal with and simulate their application on it.
1- We will introduce the participant to the brief definition of the MCU where it says that MCU is a miniature computer with restricted abilities.
2- After They know the board they will work on we will start simulating the board on adafruit simulation platform.
3- Then we will give the participant a quick tour in the platform.
4- This is the main page after access to the platform link.
5- first we will press on a new project to start the simulation.
6- This is the workspace for building the code.
7- The result will appear at the virtual board at the left of the screen.
8- Then we will show participant how to build codes and the different between forever loop and on start loop.
In this section we will recap what we have done in the previous day and introduce the new topic of this day to them.
1- We will start by asking the participant to briefly define what is meant by wearable technology.
2- Then we will introduce to them what we are going to do in this day.
3- We will start by introducing what is electricity. 
4- Then we will ask them whether the electricity is generated or found in nature.
“Most of the participant will say its already found in nature”
When we ask them to explain why it’s found in nature they will say that we are taking it from the Sun and the wind.
(Here we need just to correct their understanding that electricity is generated and what they are mentioning is the energy forms where we change the light energy comes out from the Sun into another form which is Electricity also the movement energy form the wind to Electrical energy)
5- Then we will explain the circuit for the participant by describing how devices works and how electricity flow from the sources to the loads.
6- Then we will present a video to them describing what is the circuit.
7- Then we will briefly define what is meant by switches as the part used to open and close the circuit. 
8- Then we will give some examples about some circuits implanted in clothes.
In this section we will introduce computers in order to understand the Microcontrollers.
1- We will start by defining the computer and the uses of the computer.
2- Then we will briefly define what is meant by microcontrollers, “as miniature computers with restricted abilities”.
3- Then we will present a video describing what is meant by MCU.
4- Then we will give some examples for MCU boards.
In this section we will define and describe what is meant by programming and coding.
1- Firstly we will define what is meant by software in order to understand how the MCU works.
“As software is the way of writing instructions so the MCU will go through these instruction step by step in order to perform the needed cost”
