ubiquitous technology

In the workshop "ubiquitous technology," students learn the fundamentals of working with microcontrollers, sensors, and motors. The students are tasked with translating non-technical behavior – for example, human gestures while speaking, a dog's behavior when it's happy, or the slow blooming of a flower – into an anonymous shipping box.

For this, they only have a limited selection of motors and sensors available and must therefore become creative with both mechanics and programming.

The results are exciting year after year: from delicate and very sensitive wire constructions to martially stomping boxes, the students always develop new approaches.
