Lets Get Physical - Adventures in (mostly)Screenless Tech
Presented by Stuart Sackler
Explore the challenges of building mostly screenless technology projects for escape rooms and classrooms! My friend phoned me up with a special request for an escape room build. We had two weeks, a limited budget, some wood and kids toys. With Arduino and some creativity, we made something special for a good cause. In this talk I'll discuss the joy and challenges of building physical tech for escape rooms.
