Tech for Good Challenge
Inspired by California: Designing Freedom, this digital design workshop explores the Maker Movement and how new ways of working through electronics, technology, hands-on making and concepts such as Tech for Good, are disrupting design in this ‘New Industrial Revolution’.
Suitable for 12-16 year olds.
Participants will be introduced to electronics as a prototyping tool for designing and set a creative challenge to explore how technology can help to create positive changes in the everyday. The session will encourge participants to work collaboratively in small groups, and use LittleBits to tinker, test and make prototype design solutions.
