Course dates / Registration

In order to design interactive objects and spaces the participants learn how to design and to assemble basic electronic circuits and how to code them. The course critically discusses functionality and non-functionality through the process of making and focus-es on the variety of aesthetics of electronic circuit designs through handcrafting. The participants learn how to craft sensors and actuators on their own as well as to use industrial sensors as inputs and outputs in a concrete project using iterative processes in the development of a prototype with Arduino. They learn how to work independently with Open Source Tools and Information. They deepen their understanding about the use of technology and learn how to communicate a narrative through crafted electronics and coding.
