It was worn at the waist, with a long lever arm that was tied to the thigh. When the thigh moved back and forth in walking, the gears were rotated, causing steps to be counted [6]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer]]> 2021-09-30 13:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781415808 Designs of Wearable Technology dhorvath10 https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781416410 Where on the person it will be worn determined by:
  🔵 Purpose
  🔵 Comfort
  🔵 Accessibility

How will it be worn (Construction of the gadget):
🔵 Materials (comfort, durability)
🔵 Accessibility
🔵 Fashion/ Looks
🔵 Who the user is]]> 2021-09-30 13:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781416410 Planning Sheet dhorvath10 https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781556636 Modified from https://www.extraordinaires.com/design-make]]> 2021-09-30 14:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781556636 Resources: dhorvath10 https://padlet.com/dhorvath10/blakemicrotrackers/wish/1781595404 Computing Innovations: Code.org
