Physical Computing Workshop Istanbul

I'll be doing a workshop at Sabanci University in Istanbul in late May, thanks to Selcuk Artut for organizing it.

MAKING THINGS TALK : Networked Objects
Physical Computing Workshop by Tom Igoe*

In this workshop, participants will learn how to connect computers to the physical world
through the use of microcontrollers and sensors. Participants will work hands-on to build
their own sensor devices, and learn how to make those devices communicate with other
computers over a network. Simple wireless communication will also be introduced.
Tools to be used include the Arduino microcontroller platform, XBee digital radios, the
Processing programming language, and a variety of sensors.
