[Elio Bidinost]

Hi all,

Sensor Lab Bookings and Procedure: http://slab.concordia.ca/sensor-lab-calendar/
 From the 10th November, it will be necessary to reserve a work time  
slot in the Sensor Lab. I have updated the Sensor Lab calender  
section, refer to the "Sensor Lab Booking" item. There is a limit of 8  
persons at any one time in the Sensor Lab. In "Sensor Lab Booking"  
refer to the Description section of the calender event to determine if  
space is available - it will be presented in the following manner  
"Work Session Booking (2 of 8): Followed by the names".

To make a booking email me sl at swpspce dot net or come see me in  
person - at least one day in advance. Likewise, if you cannot make  
your booking - alert me so that we can free up that booking space.

works.


Arduino & Sensing: Fri 14th & 21st November @ 1:30 pm
Description:
Arduino & Sensing workshop introduces the open-source physical  
computing platform through a series of mini-projects based on a i/o  
board, sensors, and the Arduino development environment.

Requirements:
- Laptop (Mac OS X or Windows)
- Some Programming Experience
- Some Hardware Experience

Good To Have:
- Basic Knowledge of Electric Circuits


Husqvarna Viking & Embird Studio: Wed 26th November @ 9:30 am
Description:
Introduction to the Husqvarna Viking sewing machine with a focus on  
user designed embroidery patterns using the built in Viking patterns

Introduce soft circuits (wearables) as autonomous or participative  
agents. Instruction will focus on machine and hand sewing, conductive  
textiles, pattern design, electronics and interaction design. The aim  
is to produce a soft fabric encasement for the safe keeping of special  
objects - “memory pocket”. The “memory pocket” would function as an  
independent agent or could be incorporated into a larger group driven  
“memory pocket” design. Workshop given by Zoe Dominiak and s-lab
