Between November 25th and December 5th I will be running a free workshop in basic electronics for music instrument construction in Mexico DF at Faro de Oriente. Our goal will be to build digital interactive instruments out of Arduino boards and parts taken from the markets (Tianguis in Mexican) around the area. The workshop is […]
I got a report from Alex Posada, at Hangar.org, about the workshop they organized with the financial support of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID). The workshop ran during two weeks, and seems to me that it will become the base for a lot of people to start working with Arduino and […]
Tinker.it! is organising a workshop for the Torino Design Week focused on building lamps and other kinds of luminaries by hacking Ikea products. The workshop takes place the 26-27-28 October 2009, between 9:00 and 12:00. David Cuartielles started doing these back in sweden and we thought we could “import” the concept into Italy and allow […]
Last week I hosted a workshop at Arteleku in San Sebastian, Spain. We spent two days building small Arduino based music instruments using the Smapler v2 shield. I couldn’t resist the temptation of making a laser-cut design that I had in my head for some time … a snap-on board where to tidy up the […]
This week we had mid-course presentations at K3’s first year class in Physical Prototyping. The brief was to create toys or digitaly agmented board games playing with the issue of time. We have been running this course about four times in the last 6 months and the results are just getting better. As usual, the […]
The Copenhagen Institute for Interaction Design is running the Interaction Design Pilot Year in collaboration with the Danish Design School. Dave Mellis works there, Massimo was teaching a basic Arduino course some months ago, and I just finished a short position as advisor for their Tangible User Interfaces course. It has been an intense four […]
I met Alejandro Tamayo in Helsinki in February during Pikselache 2008, besides the Finnish sauna experience -that includes beer drinking and sausage eating half naked on the snow- we share an interest in electronics, education, and working with extremely small groups. Picture courtesy of Alejandro Tamayo, follow his flickr account for more In the past […]
In Argentina I got told to ask for the famous “Bife de Chorizo”, a juicy steak served more or less everywhere. I spent three weeks working with Buenos Aires’ Ministry of Education in promoting the lab-in-a-box project and teaching secondary school educators in the use of open source technologies. We developed interesting examples using a […]
During my last workshop at iMAL (actually it was also the first one) I was lucky to meet a lot of interesting people. We were making music instruments out of Arduino … but his post is not about how much fun we had playing electronic instruments on the streets of Brussels :-) performing in Brussels, […]
There are many workshops these days where Arduino is used as one of the tools for open development. This week I want to make a quick note on the one made by the people from Hangar.org (BCN, Spain) at Laboral Centro de Arte in Gijon (Spain). The title was TOUCH and they made a revision […]
