Snaps and Pins was created by Ambreen Hussain and Jennifer Dopazo, two graduates of the MFA Design & Technology program at Parsons. They started the blog to provide a resource for people interested in crafting and electronics/circuitry. The blog will feature cycles that start with basic crafting techniques, then introduce physical computing and circuitry concepts, and eventually combine the two. Each cycle will include tutorials, case studies, interviews, and projects of increasing complexity. The goal is to provide an accessible starting point and community for people interested in the intersection of craft and technology.
DIY Days - Reclaiming DIY: it’s not JUST a business modelBrian Newman

The document provides tips and strategies for crafting a history paper. It outlines a common structure for papers, including an introduction with thesis, background information, historiography, evidence section, and conclusions. For the evidence section, it recommends starting with favorite sources, analyzing their context and how they relate to claims and other sources. It also offers writing tips such as focusing each paragraph on one topic, using past tense for events and present tense for authors, and emphasizing cause and effect through sentences.
Design it yourself - a new future for home and DIY retailDalziel and Pow
At Dalziel & Pow we love talking about design, brands and stores. We see new opportunities everywhere, and right now we’re inspired and excited by the home and DIY market.
The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in craft and lifestyle activities. Millennials flock to bread-making classes and running clubs on their weekends, something hard to imagine a decade or so ago. Brands such as Rapha in cycling or Eataly in food have redefined the shopping experience for their sectors, making it experiential, engaging and relevant.
We believe home and DIY retail is undergoing a similar transformation.
New concepts need to engage today’s connected consumer, and tap into their desires for convenience, learning and creativity. With the housing market slowly improving following the economic downturn, and an array of digital tools at retailers’ fingertips, the time is ripe for innovation.
Home and DIY is a diverse sector, with huge differences between the no-frills trade merchants and the lifestyle-orientated homeware brands whose customers have less DIY knowledge. There’s room for new retail strategies in both.
Creating new concepts for brands such as Leroy Merlin, Notcutts, The White Company and Next Home and Garden has given us a great understanding of current trends. We’d love to share our insights and experience with you, and in this document we explore six key themes shaping the future of this sector.
1/ Knowledge economy
2/ In-context inspiration
3/ Create a community
4/ Customisation culture
5/ DIY on demand
6/ Seamless showrooms
The Retail Industry is confronted with a period of unprecedented change and is struggling to keep pace with todays consumer, who has vastly different and more sophisticated expectations of products and services than even 5 years ago. With boundaries between bricks and mortar and on-line retailing becoming blurred, this presentation looks at the technology likely to impact on the retail sector and specifically the UK Home Improvement Industry over the next 5 years.
Visual merchandising is the practice of coordinating physical elements in a store to project the right image to customers. This includes elements like storefront, interior design, lighting, signage, and merchandise displays. The goal is to attract customers, engage them in the store environment, and motivate them to make purchases. Effective visual merchandising techniques include using mannequins, fixtures, and props to creatively display merchandise in a way that tells a story and highlights product features. Regularly changing interior displays is also important to keep the store looking fresh and interesting to customers.

1. The course is titled EC8392 Digital Electronics and covers topics such as digital fundamentals, combinational and sequential circuit design, memory devices, and digital integrated circuits.
2. The syllabus is divided into 5 units that cover these topics in more detail over 45 class periods.
3. The objectives of the course are to present digital fundamentals, design digital circuits, explain sequential circuits and memory technology, and introduce electronic circuit implementation.
Digital electronics deals with digital signals to perform tasks using binary digits. It was needed because analog systems were less accurate and slower. Digital systems can operate faster and at higher frequencies than analog equivalents. Digital electronics uses smaller integrated circuits that occupy less area and are more accurate than analog measuring instruments. The development of digital electronics began with ideas in the 1700s and progressed through transistors, computers, the internet, and mobile devices in recent decades. It has advanced fields like education but increased dependency on technology.

Snaps Business Proposal
1. Where technology and craft meets.
Business
Proposal
By: Ambreen Hussain
& Jennifer Dopazo
2. MISSION STATEMENT
Snaps and Pins was made as a result of two crafters and geeks, Jennifer Dopazo and Ambreen Hussain,
who wanted to keep their hands and minds busy with simple experiments in craft technologies.
As both graduates of the MFA Design & Technology program at Parsons, they started their passion
of electronics and soft circuitry in their theses discoveries.
Jennifer’s thesis, Tikos, were three interactive toys that helped preschoolers learn numbers.
Ambreen’s thesis, Spin on the Waltz, were two garments for both male and female Viennese waltz dancers
that created an interactive sound environment for a new form of dancing. Both spent a majority of their time
sewing and coding, and it is in the combination of these two interests and projects that the blog came about.
Yet that first year was a huge learning curve, and much of it was trying to find a starting point that had it all.
How could we learn how to sew? Where could we go to find an outlet or forum for the basics for soft circuits?
How would we ever find a resource on electronics that didn't look like it was speaking Yiddish to us?
This blog is dedicated to those individuals who were stuck at some point in their lives and knew what their
passions were, either in crafting or circuitry, or better yet, both, but had no means to find a resource to get them
started. I guess you could say, feel free to assimilate this site as a Crafting Technology blog for dummies.
We keep things simple. That was our tactic throughout our thesis projects and learning process, and we try to keep
this principle and philosophy alive in this blog as well. We believe that crafting is easy, seamless and fun. That ideas
can be as well. That clean and sophisticated design is approachable. That new platforms are hard to jump into, but
they shouldn't be. We acknowledge that a well-developed product had a starting point. We hope that starting point
is here.
3. RESEARCH STATISTICS
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM
In many design schools and at Parsons, soft electronics, meaning the combination of using soft, cloth-like fabrics
and materials in conjunction with electronics is now commonly becoming a form of communication.The general
consensus, however, in these design schools is that students should already be familiar with the basics, and the
assumption is that there is a forum for Lilypad users and soft electronic users - there is not.
Similarly, craft blogs, like instructable, give you how-tos on sewing, but they forget that some users are not aware of
the fundamental basics of stitching styles, and even lack knowledge of materials and fabrics thatare being used. We
dig deeper and start from point A.

8. SAMPLE CONTEXT
“Soft computation:” is the design of digital and
electronic technology that is composed of soft
materials such as textiles and yarns, as well
as predicated on traditional textile construction
methods to create interactive physical designs.
The term was coined by Joana Berkowska who also
states: One application of reactive fashion
is to enable the idea of changing our skin, our
identity, and our cultural context.... I
develop enabling technology for electronic textiles
based upon my theoretical evaluation of the
historical and cultural modalities of textiles as they
relate to future computational forms. -- Berzowska, 10,
2Electronic Textiles: Wearable Computers, Reactive
Fashion, and Soft Computation)
