This workshop will teach beginners how to get up and running and learn basic programming skills on the Arduino microprocessor board. It will take you from setting up the Arduino environment, writing and downloading code and working with devices such as sensors and LEDs. By the end of the course, attendees will leave with a working knowledge of the system so they can start creating their own projects.

He holds a BS in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon; a Diploma in Music Synthesis (Magna Cum Laude) from Berklee College of Music; and an MS in Computer Science from New York University. He has performed and lectured throughout the world with electronic musical instruments, as well as touring and recording with many bands on tenor, alto, and baritone saxes. He is a founding member of the Brooklyn-based arts collaborative The Madagascar Institute, and he has contributed to many of the group's spectacular projects in addition to reaching the semi-finals with the MI-originating team "The Brooklyn Benders" on The Learning Channel's 'Junkyard Wars' television show.
