Course Project: Curiosity and Engagement¶

The projects are the core of this course: we want to design, build, and document devices which blend digital and physical processes in expressive or useful ways. This year we will again be working with the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum to develop experiences which work in the museum context. This will introduce a new area of discourse related to museum practice to provide a context for exercising the engineering and design vocabulary developed in the first third of the course.
