IDeATe Student Employee David Perry Featured on cmu.edu
If you've spent any time in the IDeATe facilities, you've undoubtedly run into David Perry working in the Soft Technologies Studio or helping students build a huge inflatable sculpture. Perry's studies at the intersection of textiles and robotic systems are featured today in a profile piece on cmu.edu, where you can read about his SURF project on roboticized garments.
Adobe Max Virtual Conference

Register and join in October 20-22, 2020 to see sessions on 3D and AR, business productivity, graphic design and hundreds more. Featured speakers include writer/director/producer Ava DuVernay, photographer Annie Leibovitz, and recording artist/producer/director Tyler, the Creator.
Reminder! Indigo Dye Workshop
What is Indigo? Indigo is a plant grown for use as a blue dye material. We use it today thanks to the many people around the globe who, for centuries, have cultivated its growth and developed sophisticated techniques for its use. In this outdoor, in-person workshop* we will explore indigo immersion dyeing and shibori resist techniques (Japanese cloth binding for dyeing). Experience the unique qualities of indigo as your fabric goes into the bubbling green bath and emerges as a beautiful blue artifact.
When: Saturday, October 3, 1-4 pm EST
Where: Outside Hunt Library
Workshop is limited to 20 participants. RSVP, please http://bit.ly/Indigo-SoftTech
