ENT2280 – INS AND OUTS OF PHYSICAL COMPUTING

This class was dealing with microcontrollers (primarily Arduino), sensors, activators and other interactive stuff. Individually and in small teams we were hacking electronic devices, writing codes, and building/soldering DYI projects. It was a lot of fun, especially because I was already pretty familiar with the Arduino and Arduino IDE programming environment. Also, I am fascinated with the Maker Faire and hope to attend this event as a ‘maker’ one day:)
