Prototyping 101 Workshop

New to electronics? This workshop is designed for designers and mechanical engineers who want to wire up their first circuit.

Optionally purchase our Prototyping 101 kit to follow along with the lessons.

4 Hour of Online Lectures

Calling all designers and non-electrical engineers! This workshop is the first step to integrate electronics into your work. From heated jackets, to beautifully sculpted lamps, electronics make products light up, heat up and think.

Join us in this fun workshop to get your hands dirty with soft, flexible electronics!

Here’s what you’ll make:

1.) A Pressure Sensing & Data Visualization Circuit

This circuit shows you how to collect and visualize pressure data in the Arduino serial monitor. A perfect skill to have for wearables! We'll learn about breadboards, alligator clips, and more in this module. 

2.) A Heating & Color Changing Circuit (see right)

This circuit will introduce you to using batteries! It's a more complex circuit than in module 1 and will show you how to use a transistor. This module teaches the foundation needed to make heated or color-changing products.
