Theory and Practice of Tangible User Interfaces

Lab Kit

The Thursday curriculum, lab assignments, and homework are based on individual hands-on exercises
with Arduino boards and electronic components.

Therefore, it is necessary for each individual student to have his/her own lab kit.

 

The $75.00 Course kit includes the following and additional prototyping materials:
