For the second consecutive year, FIT and MIT have partnered to host the Summer Exchange Workshop, where students from each institution team up for two weeks in June to create product concepts exploring the use of advanced fibers and technology. The workshops were held collaboratively with Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA), a Cambridge, Massachusetts–based national nonprofit enabling a manufacturing-based transformation of traditional fibers, yarns, and textiles into highly sophisticated integrated and networked devices and systems. The program doubled in size since its launch last year and continues to bring students to the forefront of advancements in technology and design by providing hands-on workshops and modules taught by faculty and industry experts.
