#03Odd Inputs: Alternative Controllers

Alex Johansson, Saturday Morning

A playful workshop where participants fashion strange and approachable games controllers from cardboard, tinfoil and other craft materials. Use your makeshift input to activate simple LED games snaking throughout the space, all powered by the BBC Microbit. These workshops are usually run with the public and engage communities ignored by games and tech to help them descover what interfaces resonate with them most.

Each session can accommodate up to 20 participants at a time on a drop-in basis.
