How to Make Your Installation Indestructible: From Prototype to Reality

Part of the 2025 CETI Enchanted Technology Summer

Instructors: Justin Patrizi

Saturday, August 23 2025, 2024. 2:00pm -- 5:00pm.

Have you ever created something interactive, but weren’t sure how to bring it from your computer screen or breadboarded Arduino to a finished installation that won’t break down? In this workshop, we’ll take a broad look at what it takes to launch an exhibit in a hands-on science museum, build PNW weather-resistant LED art, or keep people from prying apart escape room puzzles. Many examples will be passed around, we will make and break some prototype components, and learn to anticipate where problems might occur to design better.

Prerequisite: Some familiarity with creating installations.

Required Materials: Bring questions and curiousity
