Join us at CHI 2024 in Honolulu, Hawai’i, on Tuesday, May 14, 2pm-3:20 & 4pm-5:20, for a hands-on introduction to interactive electronics prototyping for people with a variety of backgrounds, including those with no prior experience in electronics. (Familiarity with programming is helpful, but not required.)
What?
You’ll learn basic electronics, microcontroller programming and physical prototyping using the Arduino platform, then use digital and analog sensors, LED lights and motors to build, program and customize a small paper robot.
We’ll cover fundamental electronics concepts like voltage, current, and resistance, as well as the basic electrical components: wires, resistors, capacitors, breadboards, and power supplies.
The course is an interleaving of brief interactive lectures and guided individual exercises over two sessions of two hours.
Course Materials
For the course, you will need to download the following materials:
- The Arduino IDE version 2.3.2 (150–200 MB)
- Our Arduino control sketches (small folder)
- An up-to-date course tutorial (40 MB)
Remember to bring your laptop, power adapter, and glasses or contacts if you need them for seeing small things up-close.
When?
Offered as a course at CHI 2024.
Dates: Tuesday, May 14, 2pm-3:20 & 4pm-5:20.
Who?
You, of course! Oh, and also us:
David Sirkin, Executive Director for Interaction Design at the Center for Design Research at Stanford.
J.D. Zamfirescu-Pereira, PhD student in HCI at Berkeley, Assistant Professor at California College of the Arts.
Wendy Ju, Associate Professor of Information Science at Cornell Tech.
How?
