Tangible Electronics for Teaching and Learning

(3 Credits)

Steinhardt/Tandon joint course combines theory and practice for researching, designing, and prototyping tangible educational technology. Students conduct a practice-based research project, including analyzing a learning context, identifying learning objectives, conducting primary research, and working collaboratively with a client in the field to develop and iterate on their designs. Techniques for rapid prototyping, overview of physical computing, and using microcontrollers to interface with sensors and actuators to implement their designs and gain feedback.
