Physical Computing

I worked taught the course Physical Computing In NYU Tisch’s IMA program. The course is a mandatory class for graduation and considered by many to be the most challenging course in the curriculum. The curriculum is lead by professor Tom Igoe, one of the founders of Arduino. It was an honor to teach this class from 2023-2025. The class that I taught was project focused and based around developing skills to create embedded experiences using Arduino and other open source hardware tools. Class projects include hardware hacking, serial port connectivity, UI creation, and concludes with a student led project.

Syllabus and course slides are available to the public to reference here.
