These are mostly notes for a discussion section I’m leading at ITP Camp, but I thought gathering them with links here would be useful.

In this 1.5 hour session we’ll talk about motors, torque, and how things move. Then we’ll open in up into a studio/discussion so we can talk about the ideas of the participants and how we can turn them into reality. You can come just for the how-to and discussion, but you’ll get more out of it you have a real project idea in mind that could benefit from what you’ll learn.
