Motors Workshop
In the first of two motor workshops, we'll deal with simple motors that don't require complicated circuits to control them: DC motors and AC motors. Then we'll get our hands dirty, trying out some different motors and mechanical components like gears, cams and couplings.

Pure Data: Interactive Video & Objects
In the first afternoon, we'll introduce you to a powerful, open-source visual programming environment called Pure Data. To learn the ropes, you'll make an interactive, sound-responsive video in a single afternoon. In the Sunday session, we'll turn our attention from video to real-world physical projects.

Intermediate Electronics with Rob Cruickshank
Learn how to build more complex digital circuits, and how to use CMOS chips as "glue" between microcontrollers and the external world, or to make circuits with more complex behaviour without using microcontrollers at all.

Intro to Electronics
In this workshop, we’ll cover the basics of electricity, starting with Ohm’s Law, work our way up to building simple digital circuits with CMOS chips, transistors and LEDs and discuss how to interface these circuits with the ‘real world’ of motors, sensors, and other devices.
