TWO AMAZINGLY GEEKY WORKSHOPS FOR WOMEN AT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD FESTIVAL…

__________________________________________

Introduction to interactive and wearable technology, using the Arduino and/or LilyPad Arduino.

This workshop will focus on the principles of interactive and physical computing using the Arduino. We will introduce some basic interaction using sensors and lights, which can also be applied to the LilyPad Arduino, a wearable micro controller used to make interactive cloths and textiles.

This will be a 2hour workshop over the weekend of the EMF camp. Time and day tbc.

There will be opportunities throughout the weekend to develop projects, and learn more about soft-circuits and e-textiles.

MzTEK will provide an Arduino Uno, sensors and LED’s to borrow.  If you would like to use an Arduino LilyPad you will need to provide your own kit.  Please see our MzTEK EMF wiki page for where to purchase items.

sketchPatch is an online programming playground, using the programming language Processing. The workshop is a game of tag, in which everyone contributes to each others work as they are passed around the group.

At the end of the day we will print sketches out and turn them into BADGES!

So come and join sketchPatch.net in a round of sketchTag!

Where & When

The workshops will be held at Electromagnetic Field Festival, for which you will need to purchase ticks here… Electromagnetic Field

There is no additional tuition fee for these workshop, but you may need/want to buy your own kit.

To sign up get in touch at info@mztek.org or add your name to the MzTEK EMF wiki page.

MzTEK invites you to our Geekout – a session which encourages you to work on your own tech projects in a peer to peer environment, share your ideas and most of all, tinker!

If you require one, please bring your own laptop as well as any materials for pieces you’re working on. We’ll have solder irons, glue guns, some components and also learning materials from previous workshops. There will be a couple of tutored exercises, including an introduction to SketchPatch and how to make your own Soft Circuit Voodoo Doll.

We would like to thank Barry’s Lounge for sponsoring our Geekout :)

What to bring with you (if you can)…

Your own laptop

Tickets for the fayre are free and can be booked here

Another opportunity for all you geek girls to get nerdy…
Come and collaborate on animations and interactive drawings, created by you from the code up!

This is a fun and easy way for everyone to share programs, for newbies and experts alike.

sketchPatch is an online programming playground, using the programming language Processing. The workshop is a game of tag, in which everyone contributes to each others sketch as they are passed around the group. It will be an opportunity for complete novices to get tinkering with some code, and experts to collaborate, and pass on skills.

At the end of the day we will print sketches out and turn them into BADGES!

So come and join sketchPatch.net in a round of sketchTag!

sketchPatch is featured in the ‘Unleashed Devices‘ exhibition at Waterman’s Art Gallery, and will be taking part in London Digital Design week at the V&A 25th & 26th September… so make a sketch and you can get your work in there too!
