SparkFun Electronics ProtoSnap and repurposed electronics

Abstract

SparkFun Electronics will host a workshop based on the popular ProtoSnap development board (Arduino-compatible). The workshop will begin with an introduction to ProtoSnap & Arduino including code examples to get everyone comfortable and then we will have some fun creating sketches in Processing. Once everyone has successfully written some code we will split into small groups and explore avenues of usage with a focus on repurposing or recycling items and technologies. Participants are encouraged to bring interesting and unusual treasures that are begging to be hacked. Our team will facilitate a fun, hands-on hacking session.
