Build your Arduino clone by Romily Cocking Even if you're new to electronics and the world of Physical Computing, this hands-on workshop will send you home with a simplified Arduino-compatible computer-on-a-breadboard that you have built yourself. You will need a laptop with a spare USB port and version 1.0.x |

The Unbelievable Truth by Duncan McGregor, Nat Pryce, Rachel Davies and others! Join in a our version of the Radio 4 comedy panel show The Unbelievable Truth, adapted to have more audience participation. Duncan will be the MC. Panelists will each give a short lecture on a technical subject that is entirely false, save for five truths concealed amid the falsehood. Panelists get points for detecting the truths and for sneaking truths past the other panelists. Unlike the Radio 4 show, we will not say whether a challenge over a truth is successful until the end of each lecture, so that audience members can also play along. |
