Learn to code (2/3) - building interactive museum exhibits
About this session
Date: Wednesday 26th February 2025, 12.15-12.45 (FAB Media Symposium Space)
Presenters: Dr Robert O'Toole
Main follow-up contact: Robert O'Toole
Overview: No previous experience needed. Program Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, sensors, motors, lights, screens, to add interactivity to exhibits. We will demonstrate how this can be done with no coding, using a visual programming technique. DAHL has equipment that you can use for your experiments, including Pi computers and robot kits. We will also demonstrate how the Python programming language can be used to do more advanced coding.
