Electronics and Design Workshop
In the EDWS 2020 we are mostly working to produce visitor tracking systems for Aalto Arts Exhibitions, especially in consideration of the Helsinki Design Week event in the autumn. There are also three other projects that part of the class is working on. This is a project-based course that results in functioning networked prototypes build especially with the Raspberry Pi mini-computer.

The course also includes weekly design thinking discussions. In order to make this work, the students are expected to watch the short videos found in the Materials-section before the class on Wednesday.
