The Making Things Interactive elective encourages students to build interactive systems big and small, concentrated or distributed, functional or poetic, using electronic sensing devices, actuation mechanisms, and integrations with digital media.

Through the process of experimental making, prototyping and the careful balance of wearing both designer and ‘techie’ hats, the students build upon an introduction to the Arduino platform – writing code in C, wiring up electronic circuits, and extending these capabilities to connect to further software and hardware platforms.
