'''Beknopte omschrijving inhoud module'''<br>
 
Getting to know electronics may be not as easy as it looks on all online tutorials and resources. But it is so much fun to do it with others!<br>
 
That’s why in this series of workshops we get together and learn trough making.<br>
 
First episode: make a light object!<br>
 
We will make a lighting object from a bunch of leds and some other components. As simple as a led may be, it can be used in many contexts.<br>
 
 
 
'''Uitgebreide omschrijving inhoud module'''<br>
 
The series of workshops that aim to get students  acquainted  with basics of electronics and making simple circuits. A start in being able to develop ideas to work creatively with the medium.<br>
 
FIrst in the series – the lighting object.<br>
 
Students will make a small led object from scratch and learn trough the making. We will see how to use it without any programming .<br>
 
You will design and build a packaging / case for your prototype.<br>
 
We will have a look at the possibilities to work with a microcontroller to control the light and animate it.<br>
 
 
 
'''Leerdoelen<br>
 
Learn to:<br>
 
'''– make and execute a concept for a simple lighting object<br>
 
– know how basic circuits work<br>
 
– solder electronic components<br>
 
– be encouraged to use the facilities of the Interaction Station to create concepts and prototypes for your lighting objects.<br>
 
 
 
'''Planning'''<br>
 
 
 
week 1: Breaking the ice – introduction and some led projects. Making light with the little bits and moving on to making our own circuits. Taking the light cube as a starting point, you develop ideas for your led object.<br>
 
 
 
week 2: Working on the making! Lots of soldering fun. Finishing and testing the circuits.<br>
 
 
 
week 3: Working on the packaging and final look of the lighting objects. Using the facilities of the Interaction Station (lasercutter, 3d printer, etc.)<br>
 
 
 
week 4: We will have an overview of the possibilities when using a micro controller (Arduino) to control the light.<br>
 
 
 
'''Lesvorm'''<br>
