Fruit, modelling clay or pencil drawings: you can turn the world around you into a controller! This makes a mouse, keyboard and touchscreen unnecessary. The small circuit board, its circuits and plug-in connections make it all possible. With just a few lines of code, you can create a banana piano, build a gaming controller out of modelling clay or make a poster come to life. The main thing is that it conducts electricity! You don’t need any prior knowledge – just a desire to let your creativity run wild.

  • Snacks and lunch are included; travel costs may be covered.
