Andrea Mayr-Stalder is an artist and educator. At the Vienna University children's office she leads the media literacy team and she is the founder of Turtlestitch, a platform and international community, using Snap! to bring together coding and textile making.

No materials for the event yet, sorry!
This summer, TurtleStitch turns ten. To mark the occasion, we are hosting the TurtleStitch10 Fest in Tilburg (NL), bringing together educators, artists, coders, and makers to celebrate a decade of creative coding and machine embroidery. Over two days, participants will share their practices, projects, and pedagogical approaches--from classroom experiences and hybrid fabrication methods to algorithmic design and textile art.
By the time of this talk, the Fest will have taken place, and we will share highlights and insights from the event: what was presented, what sparked discussion, and what new ideas emerged. The talk will conclude with an outlook on upcoming developments--some already underway within the TurtleStitch community, and others shaped by ongoing collaboration with the Snap! team
