Workshop Using MESH Electronic Tags

From a CANVAS Facebook post

*******************************************

We’re currently holding a workshop at Okinawa Children’s Kingdom using MESH electronic tags!
Participants are trying their hand at creating masks with a whole new feel, using a variety of sensors.
Yesterday, we held a training session for the staff at Okinawa Children’s Kingdom,
and today we’re running the workshop together with them.
We’re thinking about the various expressions the masks can make and the situations in which they’ll be used,
and coming up with movements and reactions to match!
