Sensors, Probes and Detectors
Sensors,probes and detectors is a gentle introductory class to electronics. In the context of art, sensors are important because they form a bridge between the natural world and the digital.From a design perspective, they are vital to creating interactive objects. Through hands-on workshops, we will build our own sensors and create objects that “talk” and “listen” to the environment.

LEMON BATTERY
This was just one amazing task. A lemon used in everyday life has the power to light up an LED! I had no idea about how this worked. When we were given this task I had this question in mind that how can we make a battery? When I looked over the internet all they showed was just use a lemon. Inserting a copper wire and a zinc galvanised nail into the lemon and your job is done! How can everyday objects be brought along with electronics resulting to fancy outputs was worth giving a thought.
