Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…Despite the promising findings by primarily long-term interventions structured around e-textiles, educational curriculum reform has been slow to materialize. Educators who embrace a STEAM philosophy are more likely to endorse short workshops, integrating them in existing courses or initiatives; this could serve as a steppingstone for longer interventions and bottom-up curriculum reform. …”

Stories of the Sky by Chen, Zhanyi

“…My experience receiving image signals from the Russian weather satellite Meteor-M2 has led me to understand the pervasive presence of satellites and their silent integration into, and control over, various environments—similar to numerous other contemporary infrastructures. The sky has never been merely a smooth surface but is striated with all kinds of machines, politics, and power dynamics. …”
