A combination workshop/competition to see who can build the most creative device using only a single button for user interaction.

The Idea:
A one-button object embodies the most minimal aspect of interactive design. We guide you through 5 weeks of designing and building your one-button device through a series of guided workshops. At the end, the best two devices (as decided by participants and instructors) will be displayed as part of the AND Festival in Manchester.

Get inspired by the exhibition 1:1 - Architects Build Small Spaces and learn how to digitally create a 3-D architectural model using SketchUp. On this intensive three-day course you will learn how to use the programme from basic principles to more advanced techniques.

Create your own electronic fashion statement! Design an interactive item of clothing with the Arduino LilyPad, a set of sewable electronic components that let you build your own soft, interactive fashion. You can programme this small, circular microcontroller board to control a variety of physical, interactive outputs, such as lights and motors. Using some sewing and soldering processes and working with conductive thread and electronic sensors, you'll learn the basics of programming wearable electronics.

SuperCollider workshop for Improvised Programming

When: August 13th, 14th and 15th. 11am - 5pm

This workshop introduces the participant to D.i.Y hardware hacking and stroboscopic light. The workshop will focus on building simple hardware synths from 555 timer circuits and CMOS4093 chips. These electronic noise machines can also control lights and the workshop will focus specifically on stroboscopic light.

Come and join the wood working technologists Owl Project as they lead you through making your own mLog: A wooden USB controller for your computer. Artists taking the lead (North East) winners Owl Project, return to SPACE for their second workshop to build personalised wooden controllers and nurture the growing community of mLog enthusiasts.
