howduino / fizzPOPHowduino – fizzPOP Howduino is a hack-and-play type event at VIVID on Saturday 21st November, 10am – 5.30pm.
It’s a free event that will bring together 40 people from different backgrounds to work individually and collaboratively on various projects based around the Arduino platform.
Arduinos are small microcontrollers designed for easy prototyping of things that have electronics/data that respond to things in the physical world and vice versa. In their own words: “It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.”
The event will cater for people of all skill levels (we’re running introductory workshops for beginners too) with the main aim being to get people combining components – be they electronic or cardboard – and ideas to produce cool stuff.
This looks like a day of seriously fun fiddling and tinkering and I’ll definitely be taking part in one of the Beginner’s Workshops.
