In the Prototype Dev Camp, a group of students will learn how to make RFID games, interactive installations and mobile apps.
Between the 1st and the 5th of May, the students will work on projects that might go on premier in the Sur Place exhibition next week.

Prototype Dev Camp - Day 5
Welcome to the Dev Camp blog!
Today we wrap up.... So debug your final codes and splatter some finishing brushes of paint! The camp is finished - let's see the results!

During the final presentations, to which friends and family are invited, it soon becomes clear that the students could have used another day of debugging. Some projects kind of work but are very fragile while others just really need one more day to work at all. If there would be more time, the projects would get a better exposure then they get right now. But that's not how rapid prototyping works at Dev Camp. During the presentations some projects partially collapse, while others stubbornly… By: uɐɯʞuǝɯ ɐsoɹ

All the teams are working frantically on their projects, while downstairs the Bicycle tracks for the Sur Place exhibitions are getting shape. A dog is lying under them to guard the ramp from in appropriate use. While last night team BMiX was still working with Arjans Race bike, now they got an actual BMX to rig. The team hopes to mod the bike into a musical instrument with the help of a lilypad arduino, an accelerometer and some pressure sensors. Of course a little bit of play is also… By: uɐɯʞuǝɯ ɐsoɹ

Failing relais, a falling ceiling and no light.
-> That must mean a nightly hackerparty at Mediamatic!
4 days of brainstorming, coding, soldering, debugging, pro-bugging, designing, discussing, cycling and a lot of Reggae have turned (a few) of the students (almost) into true hackers.... ... or maybe they are just starting to look a bit funky ...
