Interaction Design Beginners: Guide to Arduino and Physical Computing at Lamba Labs

Join Lamba Labs as it hosts a workshop on Arduino and Physical Computing. Arduino devices open up the exciting new world of interactive objects, making real-world applications available for everybody to explore.

The possible uses of these micro-controllers are limitless – all you need to add is your imagination and a will to give it a go. Imagine a lamp that flickers like a candle when the wind passes by, bakery that can instantly send a tweet to its followers to tell them when their yummy baked goods are fresh out of the oven, or fridge magnets that controls your music.

Participants of the workshop will be introduced to the Arduino platform, Processing programming language, and simple circuit building. You will need to bring a computer, ideally a laptop, with a recent version of Linux, Windows or OSX installed. You will need a USB interface on this computer. Some programming background is useful, but not essential; if you’ve ever written Javascript, Pascal, C, C++, Java or Actionscript, you’ll find the Arduino programming language very familiar.

Participation fee: $50
