In our fast-paced digital age, the intersection of emotions and technology is an exciting frontier. Imagine a world where technology can interpret, respond to, and even influence human emotions. This is not a distant future, but a rapidly evolving present. To explore this fascinating blend, we invite you to join our online workshop: "Emo-Tech: Emotional Technology with Arduino." The workshop itself is at the bottom of this page!
Hang on... what is Arduino?
If you're new to the world of Arduino, don't worry! Arduino is a user-friendly, open-source electronics platform that makes it easy to create interactive projects. At its core, Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (microcontroller) and a software, or Integrated Development Environment (IDE), used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.
Arduino is designed for anyone interested in creating digital devices that can sense and control objects in the physical world. Arduino offers endless possibilities for creative and practical applications.
Workshop Materials
In this workshop, Cécile will delve into how Arduino can be used to explore and interact with human emotions. To follow this workshop, you will require the following materials:
You can use this to check your resistor's value: Resistor calculator
For the code you will need the Arduino IDE, which you can download here.
