The educational program of HEK (House of Electronic Arts) takes place at the intersection of the fields of art, media culture, and technology. In this course, we provide an overview of the current field of media art and offer practical insights into tools, tricks, and know-how for  creative approaches to digital technologies in educational settings, following the motto "low floor, high ceiling." The course is aimed for teachers and educators.

HEK presents contemporary art that utilizes electronic and digital media as tools and reflects on their use and societal impact. In our mediation, we address the themes of the artistic projects at HEK, operating at the intersection of art, media culture, and technology.

In this course, we provide an overview of the current field of media art and offer practical insights into tools, tricks, and know-how for a creative approach to use digital technologies in educational settings. Drawing from HEK's years of experience in education and creative handling of digital media, we take a tour of the exhibition, provide background information on HEK and its collection of net-based art, and delve into the tools and ideas from the repertoire of BitFabrik, the programming club of HEK. Additionally, we explore "Makey Makey" and "Scratch," where programming and tangible design seamlessly come together. Furthermore, we delve into live coding, involving programming with text and creating electronic rhythms and sounds. Of course, do-it-yourself technologies and soldering a small trash dance bot are not to be missed.

Throughout the workshop days, we strive to work with freely accessible programs as much as possible. The course is aimed for teachers and educators.
