The founder of Arduino commented:
This open-source microcontroller:
“You don’t need anyone’s permission to create amazing things.”
You can use it
to write code that produces such visual effects
You can also create interactive effects with Arduino

This time we are inviting
SKD instructor
who graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Printmaking from the Central Academy of Fine Arts
and a Master’s degree from RCA in IED
Zhang Hua
to lead a four-day exclusive Arduino software course
👏👏👏
The last Arduino software course
was fully booked as soon as it was launched
(Arduino class in session)
Instructor Zhang Hua led everyone to create a
small interactive device

SKD’s cross-disciplinary teaching
is not only reflected in
the rich software courses
but also in the annual interactive workshops during the summer
where UCL’s The Bartlett School instructor William
leads students to create a series of interactive architectural works using Arduino software
Course details: SKD Studio | An upgraded workshop combining architecture and interaction is here! Helping you get into UCL/RCA/RISD!
Project exhibition: SKD Beijing | We held the first interactive architectural exhibition “Press Play” in 798
Outcome showcase: How we successfully held an “interactive architecture” exhibition from scratch in 798
These cool works
can be included in a portfolio
and serve as a bonus item that distinguishes it from other ordinary portfolios
Action speaks louder than words
Join the cross-disciplinary ranks
Let’s play with this board
Course Schedule
Lesson 1
Introduction to Coding
What is coding?
Why coding?
What skills are needed for coding?
