20th November 2019 / Coding, Sensing and Making, Other Projects, Semester 1 / , , ,
Date: 13 March 2019
Time: 5 pm
Venue: W-B106 MA Design Studio at Winstedt

This series of workshop provided us with the fundamentals on merging design, programming, electronics and prototyping. With an engineering background, I had experience with coding and hardware during my undergraduate years. These workshops gave us the opportunity to incorporate “sensing” (data collection, user testing), “coding” (JavaScript, C/C++) and “making” (circuitry, prototyping, laser cutting). 

Overview of exhibit

Projects included:

  1. Sensing 1: Urban Fieldworks
  2. Coding 1: When Design can be Programmed
  3. Sensing 2 Coding 2: How Machines Sense the World?
  4. Coding 3: When Objects Respond
  5.  Making 1: Prototyping using Crafting Materials
  6. Making 2: Data Physicalisation

The Conclusion

With Abi and Preseetha
With Dana
With my classmates and Andreas

I really enjoyed myself in this 10-week workshop with Andreas. The weekly exercises were fun and really gave us the opportunity to explore different techniques and methods. Now that the workshop is over, I think it’s time to put more time into my research project. With new skills acquired from this workshop, it would be interesting to explore how I can incorporate some of these newfound knowledge to my project.
