8/24__Monday:
Go through syllabus and class policies
Meet Jack Stenner
Post to the blog the following:
Describe a piece of art or an interactive experience that used electronics as a medium that made an impression on you or that you remember
Describe any previous experiences with electronics and sensors.
If you are in Digital Media, what do you expect to learn in this major?
If you not in Digital Media and taking this class, what are your reasons for taking this class and what do you hope to make?
8/26__Wednesday:
Go on a sensor and electronic walk. Record your observations on the blog.
What interactions interested you the most?
Learn about Sheila's special sneakers.

Please order your Arduino kit ASAP. Refer to syllabus page and email I sent you last Sunday. You might want to order as a group or in smaill groups and get expedited shipping.
8/31___Monday:
Look through Instructable link above to help with assignment and read through the first chapters.
Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius
Go to a thrift store, junk store, whatever and find some sort electronic equipment. It does not have to work. Take it apart and find the circuit board. Take a big picture of/scan the circuit board. Bring board and image of board to class on Monday.
Read Chapter 1 of The Design of Everyday Things.
8/31__Monday:
Discuss/blog about reading in Design of Everyday Things.
Lecture on electronic components and what they do.
Dissect your equipment. You may need a screw driver. Label as many of the electronic components on your salvaged board as possible. Extra credit Be specific about the resistor values.
Download Arduino software.
