DIGITAL MAKING: a BIG Skills Day
Friday 13th October 10am-5pm
Don’t know your GPIO from your Yippie-Ki-Yay? Then this one-day practical workshop is for you. You'll be guided you through some simple programming-the-physical-world exercises, exploring the point where code meets tangible objects. Then we’ll offer some examples of where this sort of work leads, who’s doing it, and why anybody thinks it’s enjoyable, let alone important.
The day will cover:
• Basic concepts, via Raspberry Pi and Python
• MicroBit vs. Raspberry Pi: FIGHT!
• Digital glue - data sources, Node Red, and making vs. programming
• Guided exploration time
• Pointers for tools and approaches which become useful later
Venue: Think Lab, Northumbria University - 10am-5pm
Facilitators: Jonathan Sanderson & Joe Shimwell, NUSTEM, Northumbria University
Cost: £25 for BIG Members, which includes lunch and refreshments.
Non-members will need to join BIG first to participate, at a cost of £30 for annual membership.
