Autumn Hack Nights in Liverpool

by | Sep 8, 2015 | Tech News | 0 comments

As the nights draw in why not light them up with some cool looking LEDs that glitter when you walk in the house…… If you don’t know what I am talking about then it is definitely time for you to head down to FACT Liverpool this Autumn for some cool workshops.

It has to be said the easiest way for me to do this is a cut and paste job so here it is….

FACTLab Hack Nights: Special Topics
15th September – 8th December / 6pm – 8pm / FREE

n

This is a creative technology study group that will cover specific topics in programming, electronics and design. Each topic will last for 2 to 3 sessions and a couple of them will require some previous experience.

n

Topics we hope to cover include: internet programming with JavaScript, image processing with OpenCV, social media APIs with Python, and 3D design.

n

Feel free to drop in on whichever sessions you are interested in doing, but try to sign up using Eventbrite so we know how many people are coming.

n

The schedule and links for signing up are on FACT’s website.

 FACTLab Hack Nights: Intro
16th September – 9th December / 6pm – 8pm / FREE

This is an introductory course focused on interactive and creative technologies. We will introduce basic concepts of programming, electronics and interactivity using the Processing programming environment.

n

The group will meet every Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm, from 16th September until 9th December.

n

Places are limited, so booking is essential, and you only need to book one ticket for the whole programme!

n

Book here.

n

Thiago and Radamés are the two artists who will be running these sessions and as I have already been to a few over the summer I can highly recommend them.
