Creative Electronics Workshop

Goals of the workshop:

"Learn how to cook electronic cicuits" could easily be the alternative title of this workshop. Our intention is that participants can "dress" their creations with the interactivity that electronics allows. Trying to make things easy and to put hands on as soon as possible, we have created a recipe book, adding some basic concepts so anyone can cook its own dishes (even a couple of fried leds). We won't do "electro-french-cuisine", but an overview to most typicall "Arduinian" and interactive dishes: lights salad, grilled "piezos", stewed engine, wire soup with Light-Dependent-Resistors... to end with a good feast where everyone will cook and try his favourite dish.

Teachers: Igor Gonzalez Martin, Ángela Ramos, Yago Torroja.
