Description
During our volunteer time at StemFest and GreenFest, we were able to reach out the the community and share our love of fashion design and how exciting it can be. It was fun and rewarding to lead activities to demonstrate how math skills are used in apparel design and raise awareness about apparel sustainability. At StemFest we taught children how to drape on half-scale dress forms and how apparel design practices heavily involve math. While at GreenFest, we demonstrated how to create sustainable accessories from bracelets to headbands using fabric waste with both children and adults in Statesboro. Overall both service learning experiences were extremely eye-opening to how impactful teaching others can be to the learning process and the importance of sharing with others the skills and practices used in the fashion industry.
