Mar Canet Sola and Varvara Guljajeva did an Arduino workshop with DAE students on April 11. Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. During the workshop students got basic information how to work with Arduino and they created an interactive object. Mar Canet says: “the students were very creative and interested to learn how to integrate Arduino in their design objects.” Photo gallery.
