Things to be getting done... with video link

Good discussion (and kick up the backside!) with the DCLERS this morning.  Lots of interesting potential in projects - just need to get on with the details!!!  Storyboard, flow chart, shopping list, justification...

Phew...

End of a long and hot day in the computer lab...  Arduino intro sorted as well as lots of stuff about gnd, flow, volts, resistors, sensors, wires.  Thank you Pete (and John!)

Here we go...!

This morning we introduced a new project to the Design, Creativity & Learning students at Goldsmiths.  It's all about using ourselves as sensors to gather information and visualise this in interesting ways.  We'll be using Arduino to build the electronics in workshops led by Pete Rogers and exploring more broadly how this kind of technology can empower us as citizens.  Looking forward to reading everyone's blogs!
