Description

Printed Electronics can turn everyday objects into interfaces for the digital world. We will use screen printing with conductive ink to print our own designs on different material and use them as buttons or sliders with the help of microcontrollers such as Arduino. This way we we create objects which serve as input devices for digital functionalities.

In our workshop we will then think of possibilites of connecting printed electronics and 3D MID to create a completely new kind of interactive objects.
