About this Event
In this class, participants will build their very own pair of Love Messengers: a perfect gift for friends and partners.
Love Messengers are two IoT devices that are connected to each other via a real-time database. When one Love Messenger is pressed, the other will light up, no matter how far apart they are. The class will provide all materials, and playfully introduce Internet of Things technology, basic coding (C++), electronics, and fabrication techniques. At the end of the class, everyone gets to take their love messengers home as a gift for a loved one.
No prior experience necessary.
Bring your own laptop, but a loaner computer is available in the space if you don't have one.
The class is pay-what-you-wish, with a recommended donation of $20.
The instructors:
Pepi and Julia are two NYC-based creative technologists passionate about open-source projects. “Love Messengers” is our first fully open-source tech project - over the years, we've refined its code and fabrication, and have taught this workshop at events like Siggraph 2024 and Parsons Dorkshops.
This is a masks optional event.
