Deep Tinker: Electronics Workshop
Date and time
Location
Polsky Exchange South - Stagg Field Conference Room
1463 E. 53rd St. 2nd Floor Chicago, IL 60615Description
Learn a little bit about electronics using the BBC micro:bit (yes, that BBC!). The micro:bit is a small development board packed with an array of 25 LEDs, a Bluetooth radio, and much more. We’ll be using them in pairs to detect if
another micro:bit is close by and respond. Come by if you’re interested in electronics, programming, and/or the “Internet of Things”!
This event is part of UChicago Innovation Fest, a month-long celebration of entrepreneurship and discovery around the University of Chicago.
