  Toy Hacking

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

On the very first day of the Summer Academy we will warm up and get to know each other by deconstructing remote controlled toy cars. The radio signals will be broadcasted via soldered versions of the toy's handheld controllers. Toy cars will be modified with attached drawing tools using duct tape, pens, pencils, glue, spit... whatever you can imagine.

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