Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture seeks Curator for Public Programs and Director of Publications.

Etextiles are redefining what clothes can do, like a digital dress that refreshes colours. Are futuristic fashions ready for mainstream?

Carnegie Mellon Architecture invites applications for the 2024 Joseph F. Thomas Visiting Professorship in Architecture. This two-year professorship supports emerging and early career practitioners, scholars and educators interested in pursuing research and/or artistic activity combined with architectural design teaching.

This project shows you how to measure some environmental data from a sensor and send it to a cloud server using the latest WiFi-enabled Raspberry Pi Pico W board. MicroPython makes this process easy.

Introduction to Physical Computing for Artists, a class in digital art at the MIT Student Art Association, teaches students to use circuits, wiring, motors, sensors, and displays by developing their own kinetic artworks.

Position Description Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) School of Architecture invites applications for the 2023-25 Ann Kalla Visiting Professorship in Architecture. This two-year professorship supports emerging and early career practitioners, scholars and educators interested in pursuing...

This session will introduce participants to Physical Computing and how to use it in Project-Based Learning. It will go through the fundamental ideas and orthodoxies, as well as how they are utilised effectively in the classroom. It will look at the ASP schema and how it is used to structure projects, as well as provide several practical and pedagogical tips.

The International Robot Olympiad (IRO) intends to develop students’ interest in the field of robotics. The 23rd edition of the olympiad was organised in Daegu, South Korea, but due the ongoing pandemic, participants from different countries sent their entries online, and were assessed virtually.

Dozens of projects from student designers and makers from three Cornell Ann S. Bowers College Department Information Science courses occupied the Duffield Hall atrium on Thursday, Dec. 9 as part of a joint semester-end showcase. Featuring robotics and wearable devices of all kinds, the showcase included projects from three Department of Information Science courses.

An Agent-Based Model (ABM) is a category of a computational model for investigating actions and interactions of autonomous agents. The concept behind an ABM is the observation of simultaneous and multiple interactions of agents or programmed instructed entities through simulated environments. In developing these simulated environments, predictions of emergent phenomena can be evaluated. With an ABM, macro or high-level system properties can emerge from lower-level system interactions. Moreover,...
