Description: A crash course in using digital prototyping techniques to sense information from the world, analyze and display it with clever graphical interfaces, and use it to change the world around us.

Academic Mission:The primary goal is to show participants what is possible with modern rapid digital prototyping techniques and to give them a sense of efficacy - that they can with no incoming experience work with basic electronics/programming to create real things.

Time Frame: The scalable three-four hour session that takes students from basic digital IO with the arduino, to digital communications protocols with sensors and computers, and a rapid tutorial using Processing to create innovative visual interfaces.
