Summary

Arduino, Processing and Fantasia -- Learn different approaches in teaching electronics and informatics in class, using opensource tools such Arduino and Processing, with the help of Tinker.it Toolkit. Projects featured span from basic Arduino robots to broken Hard Disks Recycling passing through vintage VideoGaming design.

What do you want to achieve? (goal)

• Enjoy!
• Revamp your Educational Bag to excite ANY kind of Class
• Get in touch with different Educational Tools: Arduino, Processing, ToolKit
• Transforming you Informatics Classes in interdisciplinary projects dealing with Science, History, Ethics.
• Make Friends!

Who should come? How many? For how long? (audience)

• Anyone. From teachers to students to Edu-Punks
• Artists/gamers/Designers interested in get in touch with new ways to prototype

• we want our audience to be able to attend and follow different tents. We'll be there with our PCs and possibly organize 1h courses to explain different projects.
