I teach the popular "Introduction to Arduino" class, a four-week course in which students learn the basics of using the Arduino microcontroller board to interact with things in the 'real world.' Students have included artists with nearly zero programming experience, as well as software developers who want to get into hardware.I am also one of a number of 'wardens' (volunteers), assisting with various tasks in the shared studio/workshop space.
