THIS CLASS IS FULL with a FULL WAITLIST. We are not taking any more sign-ups. Sorry!

Please sign up for the course here: https://goo.gl/forms/C0XFJ5vJ0CdWRosw2, and we will contact you if selected. This course introduces the fabrication process for creating electronic tattoos that are both aesthetic and functional. The course is broken down into three stages:


1) Learn the fabrication process by making an NFC tag tattoo

2)  Envision and design your own applications for electronic tattoos

3) Prototype and test your application


This course can help you envision the future of wearable devices and on-skin user interfaces through a hands-on approach. During the last day of the course, students will share their applications with the rest of the class.
