This is the perfect intro class to experiment with interactive art, or to make electronic projects using the popular open source platform called Arduino.You will learn to build your own development platform, connect a variety of sensors (light, touch, sound, etc.) and use them to control LEDs, speakers and other devices.
No prior knowledge of electronics or programming is necessary, and all materials will be provided to you as a kit to keep (including the DIY kit, breadboard, programming cable, and a great selection of components for experimenting). You will need to bring a laptop with an available usb port, since a host computer is needed to program the Arduino. (Linux, Windows, or Mac is fine).
The class costs a total of $185: for the full 6 hours of instruction and workshop time.
