Physical
Computing
In this course you will be learning all about sensors, code and Interaction. This course if for artists, product designers and engineers to get to grips with adding physical computing elements to your own projects. You will learn what a microcontroller is, how to program your own LED light project. The course will expand to using different types of sensors and adding movement to your projects.
You will learn how to make your projects remote, using a small microcontroller you will be able to create interactive projects which will not need to be plugged into a power outlet. You're work will be transportable and you will learn how to make it plug and play so the gallery technician or the user can get the project working with the least fuss.
We will be using the
Arduino microcontroller and Arduino coding platform. Arduino is an open source
project , so once the course is over you'll have plenty of resources and
projects online to assist you going forward.
The course fee includes all the course materials which will be posted to you. (UK and EU only) if you are based internationally I can provide the list of materials so you can acquire you own kit.

Understanding of artists and designers using code
Learn programming fundamentals
Build up knowledge of sensors and electronics
Learn transferable digital skills
Each course participant will work towards designing their own final project and assisted to achieve their own unique project.
The course is taught online on Zoom and with real-time feedback from the tutor. All course materials will be shared after the session and the opportunity for one-on-one guidance will be offered between sessions. All sessions are UK GMT times.
Participants will also be encouraged to spend another 1-2 hours between sessions to expand the work done during the course.

A computer running Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.
At least 4GB RAM and 2GB of hard drive space.
Web browser (Chrome, Safari or Edge).
Zoom desktop and webcam.
Electronic kit (posted to you)
About the tutor: Jonathan is a practising artist with many years of experience of teaching coding for creatives. He holds an MFA from Goldsmiths in Computational Studio Arts and has worked with several EdTech start ups to design and build creative coding curriculum which are now taught to thousand's of students ever year. He teaches MA students at the Royal School of Speech and Drama how to incorporate sensors and coding into live performance practice. He often uses digital tools in his practice and is interested to expand what is possible for his creative expression.
