The most popular projects were chosen and developed in teamwork. The students learned how to write code, use sensors, build props, record and edit audio and video and use the exhibition space in their final installation.
[Course Results] At the end of the year, the students organized a large-scale exhibition in the university, which was housed in a series of makeshift structures, featuring interactive artworks that explored subjects like sign language, intimacy and thought process.
