This introductory course explores the intersection of electronics, computation, and creative practice, empowering students to design interactive systems, instruments, and interfaces using microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators. Emphasizing hands-on learning, it bridges the digital and physical realms to create expressive, multi-sensory experiences. Students will prototype interactive objects and devices, gaining technical skills and a creative mindset to engage with technologies like IoT, wearable computing, and interactive installations. No prior experience is required—only curiosity and enthusiasm for experimentation.
