 Are you interested in technologies that can help our world? This class will give you a chance to create projects using sensors and portable computers to experience wearable technologies and create the computer code to control them. One class project will be dedicated to health and wellness applications using wearable technologies like your own personal Fitbit. The second project involves building animal perception experiences that give users an increased awareness of global conservation issues. Imagine building a wearable technology that we showcase at the North Carolina Zoo with actual visitors. You have chosen to create a vest that senses the magnetic fields of the Earth and pulses when facing south. You'll show zoo visitors how monarch butterflies migrate. You'll learn about design thinking, building user interfaces, applying technology and ultimately build devices that can help solve real world problems. Join me for solving global challenges with computer programming.
