Find out the science behind your clothes in this fun, interactive book full of hands-on projects for middle schoolers! What kinds of sneakers are you wearing right now? What material is your shirt made out of? And how did all of these clothes and accessories get made and arrive at a store for you to try on and buy? In The Science and Engineering of Fashion, readers ages 12 to 15 learn how science and engineering makes the entire fashion industry possible. Fashion is one of the biggest, most influential industries in the world. But how much do you know about how your clothes are made? Most people tend to think of fashion designers and scientists as occupying two completely different worlds, but the truth is, the fashion business is completely dependent on and intertwined with science and engineering. The computer technology used in fashion design, the science behind dyes and special treatments such as waterproofing, the engineering innovations in manufacturing of fast fashion are just a few of the ways the fashion world and the science and engineering world meet. Throughout The Science and Engineering of Fashion, kids encounter essential topics and questions to encourage critical thinking skills, hands-on STEAM activities that encourage creative thinking, graphic novel style illustrations and more! Links to online resources provide a digital learning experience that integrates content with an interactive platform. This book breaks the stereotype that science and engineering are not part of creative endeavors by showing how fashion designers, scientists, and engineers work together to produce the clothing that shows up in your closet. The fashion industry is responding to the demands from the public to create more environmentally friendly processes and products. Science is helping them do this. Activities include creating natural dyes, making your own fashion design, weaving on a handmade loom, and exploring how the psychology of color plays out in your own life.
