Collaborative MakeShop Sessions
Theme: Tangible and Wearable Computing
Call for Participation
The GaMaY Lab (http://gamay.lab.yorku.ca/) located in the Lassonde Building is happy to announce a series of sessions to be held in our research lab and creative space.
We are inviting up to 10 undergraduate students to participate.
Goal: Our goal is to provide learning opportunities in the use of novel technologies. You will learn about versatile open-source electronics, rapid prototyping techniques and novel computational and programmable materials, such as fabric and paper. You will learn about the work of a range of cutting edge designers and innovators. The area of tangible, embedded and embodied computing is challenging and transforming the fields of computer science and digital media. You, as a participant, can gain a unique and exciting opportunity to expand your skills by learning about these new technologies!
Cost: FREE! Upon joining the workshop, you will receive a starter kit, guidance, access to 3D printing, and entrance to the Mini Maker Faire.
Support generously provided by the Technology Enhanced Active Learning group in the Lassonde School of Engineering.
