Stop complaining about the weather. Instead, try to make use of it!

Water is not conductive in its pure form… luckily it almost never is.

Using this fact, during the workshop we will learn basic electronics and use it to create a light object that becomes alive in bad weather.

In short: we will make small circuits that will light up when it rains. Uitgebreide omschrijving inhoud module

This course aims to get you acquainted with the basics of electronics and making simple circuits. A start in being able to develop ideas to work creatively with the medium. Leerdoelen

Learn to: – make and execute a concept for a simple light object
