TINKERLONDON: BEGINNERS ARDUINO WEEKEND

Learn how to build electronic things that you can control with your computer!

What could be better than spending a weekend learning about Arduino, the favorite open source hardware hacking platform for designers, artists and hobbyists.

Aimed at students, artists, and designers or anyone who wants to learn the basics of Arduino, simple electronics and building interactive projects

TinkerLondon has been running monthly workshop around Arduino and its uses in creative uses since 2007. TinkerLondon is a mulitdisiplinary design studio based in London. We design interactive products that bridge the physical and the digital. We help our clients develop innovative design practices in their business using open-source tools. We research new areas where design and open source technologies intersect and share the results.

This event is kindly hosted by SPACE.

What do I need to bring?

- A laptop (if its a Mac, then you need to know the admin password for it to install the software)

NB: You don't need to already know about electronics to come to this workshop.

What we will provide

A beginners Arduino kit which you can take away with you after the workshop.
