Wearable Futures course synchronous workshops

We're putting together the synchronous workshop series for the Wearable Futures course/hackathon, and it's getting to be really exciting! Confirmed workshops:

22 October 2022 (Saturday), 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm Wearable Tech + Speculative Design Workshop with Ann Peeters

29 October 2022 (Saturday), 4:00pm - 6:00 pm Metafuturism Lab Workshop with Mona Nasser and the Metafuturism Lab group, Part 1

Shopping list for hackathon participants

We're putting together the list of things for the Wearable Futures Hackathon participants to have on hand before classes even start.

If you have been participating in the hackathon, click here to view the list of things that you should purchase. (A screenshot of the list is shown below.) If you want UPOU to buy your purchases back from you, you should keep the all the original packaging and the waybill attached to the packaging; this is very important if you want to be reimbursed.

If you're a confirmed participant or if you just want to play around with the tech we'll be using for the hackathon (whether you're actually going to be participating or not), order the items in the blue rows.

Once you get your kits, if you’re absolutely keen and want to get a head start, you’re welcome to start with the micro:bit using the tutorials on makecode.microbit.org. You’ll be asked to do the following tutorials during the course, but it’s perfectly fine if you want to start tinkering now with your micro:bit!
