Art and Technology Class with Interactive Projects (Dance and Music)


 * Different students control different elements of the dance (note being played, tempo, etc.)
 * "We are going to build something, but really the ultimate goal is becoming composers"
 * Goal is to think as a composer (dance, music) and use your technical skills to design

What is an arduino?


 * It's a little computer; you can connect things into it, inputs and outputs
 * Starter kits are $30 - 45
 * Freeduino
 * Trinket (scaled down arduino)
 * SparkFun (Wearable technology)
 * Raspberry Pi - Linux OX, comes pre-loaded with Scratch

__Fun Examples__

Using Kinect to interact with the real world

Wooden blocks that move up and down (motor that moves up and down)

Each block has a motor: [|__http://makezine.com/2013/11/21/han-lees-wooden-pixel-display-64/__]

Scale - taking a simple switch and multiplying it out

Overall ideas - finding inspiration from real-world artists and recreating in your lab at your school

Arduino's for audio/light applications - need to build shields to enhance the base board

Esplora: [|__http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardEsplora__]


 * Program for making the joystick connect to the real world
 * Understanding a "Joystick" - 3 devices in one (forward/back, side to side, switch at bottom)
 * Microphone, light sensor, etc.
 * You can do a whole lot with this
