ABOUT
Series of three, three-hour workshops which presented an overview of human and animal sensing and perception, focusing on how technology could augment human senses through the use of mini-computers and sensors.

Specifically this involved the exploration of direction, distance and light sensors through ardunio boards (open-Source electronic prototyping platform allowing to create interactive electronic objects) and audio.

The participants were a selection of 12-13 yr old students from Dublin secondary schools. Nine participants took part and over the course of the workshop learnt about human and animal senses, designed and developed wearable sensor customs.
