Applied Bio-Robotics

Template:Events Workshop by Arjan Scherpenisse.

In this workshop we will explore connections between the biological and digital domains. The teacher will introduce you to basic electronics, and helps you building sensors to bridge the digital/biological gap.The base of the course are two sample projects. Students use these projects as inspiration and hack away on them, creating variations or entirely new installations.

The first project is an installation that connects plants to the internet, letting the world know when they are in need of water. The other starter project consists of a DIY microscope, which enables bacteria-driven electronic music.
