We will use screen printing with conductive ink to print our own designs on paper, leather, or glass and use them as buttons or slider with the help of microcontrollers such as Arduino. This way we we create objects which serve as input devices for digital functionalities. | We will use screen printing with conductive ink to print our own designs on paper, leather, or glass and use them as buttons or slider with the help of microcontrollers such as Arduino.

We will first take a look at the basic qualities and possibilities of printed electronics, as well as the characteristics of the tools we are going to use. Here we focus on the screen printing methods and the concept of capacitive sensing with Arduino. Students will design their own objects which we will print on and connect to an Arduino | We will first take a look at the basic qualities and possibilities of printed electronics, as well as the characteristics of the tools we are going to use.
