This is a hands-on course that introduces students to digital fabrication and 'maker' technologies used to develop prototypes of new objects and artifacts for learning. Technologies include 3D printers, electronic textiles, laser cutters, low-threshold programming environments, and micro controllers. Constructionist learning theory and current practices for design are covered. No prior technical or prototyping experience is required.
