See it in Action: Fashion Elements

by | Mar 23, 2021 | MakeFashion Edu, STEAM

Carrie Leung, a fashion tech educator and founder of MakeFashion Edu, recognized the need for an accessible and comprehensive online course to help teachers start their own fashion tech programs in their classrooms. In response, she and the team at SteamHead created “SteamHead’s Introduction to MakeFashion Edu,” a free online course designed to give teachers all the startup information they need, including materials, instructions, and even self-paced learning opportunities for students.

The course is aimed at K-12 school teachers, but anyone with an interest in fashion tech is welcome to take it. One of the ways Carrie made the course even more accessible and engaging for students was by creating a series of YouTube videos to supplement the online content. These videos included step-by-step demonstrations of various fashion tech projects, as well as tips and tricks for working with different materials and tools.

Carrie’s videos have been praised for their clear and concise instructions, which make it easy for even those with little to no experience in fashion tech to follow along and complete the projects. They also allow for self-paced learning, as students can watch and rewatch the videos as many times as needed to fully understand the concepts.

One of the most popular aspects of the course is the vast collection of resources made available for teachers like the project instructions, templates and material lists. By providing this information, the course takes the guesswork out of starting a fashion tech program and allows teachers to focus on the most important aspect which is teaching.

Carrie’s passion for fashion tech education shines through in “SteamHead’s Introduction to MakeFashion Edu.” Her dedication to making the course accessible and engaging for all students is truly admirable, and it’s clear that her YouTube videos have been an invaluable addition to the online course. With the help of this course, teachers everywhere can bring the exciting world of fashion tech to their classrooms.

Developer’s words

This project was initially intended to be completed with TiltBrush and AnimVR. However, now that we’re all locked under quarantine, I do not have access to any VR equipment, but life must go on, this project needs to be completed. Then I chose to use Unity which is completely new to me. I had to learn a lot of things from the beginning, but I was glad that it all worked out.

Number one — I’m an Empowered Learner,
I set goals and pursue ’em with fervor.
My learning is up to me, it’s not passive,
My brain learns best when I am digitally proactive,

Number two — I’m a digital Citizen,
I stay safe on all the sites I’m visiting.
I use technology to make a difference
With power comes responsibility, you getting it?

I’m a Knowledge Constructor — number three,
I carefully select and evaluate what I read.
Curate media oh so brilliantly
(And) I think critically about source validity.

Four — I’m an Innovative Designer,
That means I solve problems, major and minor.
Start with empathy, ideate, then prototype,
Test and iterate, that method is so nice,

I’m a Computational Thinker — five,
Improving any process I can find.
Writing algorithms and testing in beta,
Analyzing to find the trends in the data.

I’m a Creative Communicator — (that’s) six,
Like I put this in a rap song to make it stick.
I could use different media or tools,
Like infographics to make my point get through.

Seven — I’m a Global Collaborator,
I might connect with students way over the equator.
Digital technology makes the dream come true,
I had a virtual field trip with a kid in Peru.

That’s seven ways that I can be
A life-long learner in this 21st century.
What kind of student do I want to be?
It’s my path, that’s up to me!
