Description
Discover how physical computing is changing the way we interact with technology and the devices around us.
Explore how physical computing is changing tech and build your own prototype
Physical computing is the use of computers to respond to the physical movement of the human body.
Whereas in the past computing was limited to immobile computers and laptops, today microcontrollers and sensors are revolutionising the tech industry and how we interact with household items.
On this course you’ll learn what’s inside the devices we all use every day, like kettles, phones, and smartwatches. You’ll come to understand how they work, how they respond to our movements, and ultimately learn to create your own physical computing prototype.
