Yesterday we were invited to the University of Rome by Lorenzo Imbesi to do a little talk on Interaction Design and Prototyping. Massimo Banzi facilitated the Interactive Object 1.0 Arduino workshop for students of the faculty of Architecture as part of the Roma Design Più event (Rome Design week). I tried to provide the students with some insights on how tools like Arduino and a better understanding of electronics can help us during the design process.
We finally decided that we need proper soldering tools and purchased a solder station. After having done some initial research, we had enough information to decide that Conrad's entry-level product was right for us.
