Abstract
In the digital age, children can express their ideas in both physical and digital environments. Electronic textile or e-textiles with Lilypad Arduino provides children with opportunities to explore design ideas and to realize their imagination into physical artefacts. This study aims to analyze the nature of activities and perceptions among 16 children in fifth and sixth grade in a primary school in Seoul who participated in the 12-week e-textile project. To this end, two teachers who taught the class evaluated student-created artefacts from technical, critical, creative and ethical perspectives, and interviewed seven students to extract concrete experiences. The contribution of this study is that it offers a case study of how e-textile programs integrating arts and technology can be implemented in primary school settings and provides implications for future research directions.
