Description

Imagine a world where you can attend your Economics class from the comfort of your own couch, where your gerbil can send you a picture to say it's bowl is empty, or your dress can say when you'll need a rain coat.... If you think this is the World of Tomorrow, you're in for a world of surprises! This phenomenon is called the "Internet of Things," or "IoT". It's a world where things connected to the Internet can "think" and "talk" for themselves. It's a world where all the things mentioned here are already taking place. It is the World of Today, and YOU are a part of it!



As part of EU Code Week 2015 and the European Week of Action for Girls -- and with the generous support of Google and Dell -- g-Hive presents "Girls & The Future Internet": A hands-on workshop - in English, Dutch, French & German - for girls* and women* ages 13 and up - that will explore the basics of electronics with the Arduino-compatible Touch Board and provide an intro to coding with Processing. These activities will give participants a basic understanding of the Internet of Things and promote active participation and leadership by girls in designing and building the Internet of tomorrow -- for fun, safety and wellbeing.

In this 3-hour workshop, participants will:

  • Gain an understanding of the Internet of Things - 'IoT':
  • Experiment with electronic sensors and actuators using the Arduino-compatible Touch Board from Bare Conductive;
  • Get an introduction to creative coding with Processing;
  • Be inspired to develop IoT projects with a focus on health, safety, entertainment, fashion, "smart" cities, etc.; and
  • Be encouraged to participate in the IOTOPIA project.
