Course Overview
More companies are integrating technology into their products through innovative ways. From home appliances to lifestyle products, we are surrounded by digital toys that enhance our standards of living. Welcome to the world of digital making, where collision of ideas and technology can either make or break. Participants in this programme can find their stroke of genius as they learn the building blocks of digital making from coding concepts and microcontrollers (Micro:bit, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi) and create prototypes that respond to sound, touch and light.
