Ever wanted to build a pendant that will change color based on your temperature? Or one that would showcase the heartbeat of the wearer? What about a flame that will light up when people are around you?

Well, now you can! In this course, we will be walking through the process of designing, producing and assembling an interactive piece of jewelry, which you will present to the rest of our session and carry home with you. We will be using cutting edge technologies, with real hardware (tools and materials) at our disposal. Get ready to learn the following:

1. How to verify and test an idea easily
2. Where to get help if you’re stuck
3. How to design a printed circuit board
4. How to solder on a hotplate and by hand
5. How to design a 3D model
6. How to operate a 3D printer
7. How the global supply in electronics and parts works, and how can you take use of it as an individual
8. How to test and assemble everything into a working product

Even though the list above might seem technical, you can be rest assured – all material will be taught in an easy and accessible manner, with zero pre-requisite knowledge.

This course is equally for you if you want to become:
– an artist that might want to integrate any sort of technology into their art
– product designer that wants to understand how products are made
– an electronic engineer that wants to learn practical skills and insider knowledge (that they don’t teach at university)

While we won’t have time to truly master each step, you will be provided with enough information to be able to start and build rudimentary projects by the end of this course.

Let’s get our hands dirty and build something awesome!
