 This semester, we're getting to the Core of Things.
-We will be working on individual projects and create '''something connected''' that has a '''hardware component'''.
+We will be working on individual projects and create '''something connected that has a hardware component'''. The main objective is to create a working prototype, a proof of concept or a partial realisation. In order to complete this task in the short amount of time, it is essential to get to the core of the project.
-The main objective of this semester is to create a working prototype, a proof of concept or a partial realisation of an idea. In order to complete this task in the short amount of time we have, it is essential to get to the core: of the project, the framework, the tools and why you are doing the things you do.
-Every participant or team has to report their project progress every week, as we're taking a look at various strategies how to focus and refine our works. We will look at creative strategies, efficient design processes (scribbling, wireframing, having a notebook), creating moodboards to communicate nonverbal expressions and try to embed our works in a theoretical and/or scientific framework.
+Every participant or team has to ''report their project progress every week'', as we're taking a look at various strategies how to focus and refine. We will look at creative strategies, efficient design and (soft- and hardware) prototyping processes, creating moodboards and embedding our works in a theoretical and/or scientific framework.
-Additionally, we'll talk about scientific methodologies, rapid prototyping toolkits for both soft- and hardware.
-We'll look at technologies, fine and applied arts, share workflows and strategies, train presentation skills (write and talk) and - most of all - '''practice focussing to get to the core''':
-The objective of this course is to create a refined project outcome within the very limited time of one semester.
 Teams and interdisciplinary groups are welcome.
-The expected outcome should be one of the following:
+'''The expected outcome should be one of the following:'''
