About

What if the clothes you wore could heal you, boost your performance, or tell your story?

Step into the future of fashion and tech—where your body becomes a canvas for innovation. Inspired by pioneering technologist Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao and her groundbreaking Hybrid Body Lab, you'll explore how wearable technology is revolutionizing everything from personalized medicine and athletic training to bold self-expression and identity.

In this workshop, participants will ideate their own wearable design and participate in discussions tackling the real-world ethics and cultural questions surrounding body tech.

Whether you're obsessed with fashion, fascinated by biotech, or just curious about where design and technology collide, this is your chance to imagine and innovate.
