Kursinhalt
Wir beschäftigen uns zunächst mit den Grundlagen der Druckverfahren mit Schwerpunkt auf dem Siebdruck und diskutieren die Möglichkeiten gedruckter Schaltkreise. In der Werkstatt experimentieren wir dann mit leitfähigen Druckfarben und die Studierenden können selbstständig Projekte mit gedruckter Elektronik entwickeln.
