在本文中，我们报告了欧洲项目 EduWear 的成果。该项目的目的是开发一种带有智能纺织品的建筑套件，并研究其对年轻人的影响。该构建工具包包括合适的编程环境和研讨会概念，被许多研讨会的孩子们采用。
研讨会的评估表明，使用智能纺织品构建套件设计、创建和编程可穿戴设备可以创建与年轻人生活世界的各个方面密切相关的个人有意义的项目。通过他们的建造活动，参与者在处理技术方面变得更加自信，并能够在自己的创作与环境中存在的技术之间建立联系。我们认为，将这种建构主义过程纳入适当的研讨会概念对于触发关于构建过程本身之外的数字媒体特征的思维过程至关重要。
In this paper, we report on the outcomes of the European project EduWear. The aim of the project was to develop a construction kit with smart textiles and to examine its impact on young people. The construction kit, including a suitable programming environment and a workshop concept, was adopted by children in a number of workshops.
The evaluation of the workshops showed that designing, creating, and programming wearables with a smart textile construction kit allows for creating personal meaningful projects which relate strongly to aspects of young people's life worlds. Through their construction activities, participants became more self-confident in dealing with technology and were able to draw relations between their own creations and technologies present in their environment. We argue that incorporating such constructionist processes into an appropriate workshop concept is essential for triggering thought processes about the character of digital media beyond the construction process itself.
