MicroMovement: Interacting with Hardware — Gray Area Festival 2025 Workshop

💫 hardware and the body 💫

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of microcontrollers and have you building tools to translate your movement into electronic expression. Have you ever wanted to make something that reacts to you? Want to learn the building blocks for wearable hardware? Students will be introduced to the basics of CircuitPython and learn to program an Adafruit Qt Py, accelerometer, and Neopixel LEDs. We’ll explore hardware in an accessible and approachable way, using these boards to build out a basic interactive piece that you can visualize your movement with.

No prior experience needed, and all materials are provided. Please note that registration closes September 1 so we can order parts in time.

This workshop is part of Gray Area Festival 2025.
