(ecornell) Designing a Simple Interactive System

This course gives you firsthand experience with the basic building blocks that make up interactive devices. You will begin by walking through a course kit and identifying the function of each component. You will then explore step-by-step methodologies for analyzing circuit diagrams, physically assembling circuits, and programming interaction. Through activities, you will practice analyzing circuits, assembling electronic circuits, and writing code, acquiring tools and best practices along the way. By the end of this course, you will have the necessary foundation to build and program the electronic circuits critical to interactive devices. The course is provided by eCornell in partnership with Genashtim.
