  • applies in this implementation

    course in mecatronic.

    Based in the mecatronic workshop, the course is intended for participants interested in Arduino programming techniques and related electronic technology in art and design practice. 

    We will work with sensors such as light, temperature, motion, distance... Then, we will go through actuators: motors, solenoids, and everything related to LED technology and LED screen display.

    The course will specially interest participants in sculpture, interactive and installation art, collective design and critical making. Student may join with a specific project to develop or just to get acquainted in the field of art and technology. A collective exhibition at the end of the course will be held in Aalto building.
