Tools & Tech 2014

What are we going to do?

  • learn to identify (or guessify) common 'building blocks' in a device
  • understand some of the ways how a device knows about its surroundings
  • understand some of the ways a device can influence its environment
  • learn to work with a microcontroller platform
  • learn basics of programming
  • possibly learn soldering(?)
