International Women’s Day: Fearless Design and Prototyping

Erica Tiberia, Renn Scott, Get Your Bot On!

Celebrate the creativity and the ingenuity of women! Join us on International Women’s Day for Fearless Design and Technology Prototyping—a workshop designed to provide you with the basics of programming with physical components while also learning how to create products especially for women.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, this design and technology workshop is an opportunity to network, to understand what women value, and what’s important to them when it comes to apps, products and services.

You will be introduced to some female-focused best practices and a how-to approach inspired by research and insights gained from interviewing and collaborating with women.

A design thinking methodology will help you creatively explore your ideas, followed by a guided tutorial where you will create and program a working prototype using the Arduino platform, sensors, and actuators.
