Workshop by Selby Gildemacher (NL), James Bryan Graves (US) and Anja Groten (D).

In the afternoon we investigated how to use the internet as driving force for our toy-car-drawing-tools. Arduino code by Heerko van der Kooij and modified by the participants with the assistance of workshop leaders Anja, James and Selby.
