SusTech 2016 will feature a ‘Makers & Sustainability’ Workshop on Sunday, October 9, from noon-4:00 pm.

The workshop is available to both SusTech attendees and local audience. See the Registration page for details.

Workshop attendees will receive hands on experience with the Arduino 101, sensors, and Bluetooth LE. In this four hour workshop, you will learn the basics of using maker platforms and tools to create proof of concept solutions to sustainability problems.

The first half of the course will cover the basics of the popular Arduino environment and its use for simplified embedded programming. We will then incorporate an air quality sensor and explore the integrated features of the Arduino 101 microcontroller, including data collection, on-board computation, and connectivity.

Materials (Arduino, cables, sensors; approx. cost $50) are included with the course fee and kept by participants.

See the workshop page for details.

Due to the hands-on nature of the workshop, registration is limited to the first 15.
