Workshop: Tessel Hack
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Build robots with Node and Javascript! This is free-play hands-on hack time with Tessels: use sensors, connect to the internet, and even make things move. Never used hardware before? No problem! Tessel is designed to be easy for web developers to pick up, and experts Kelsey and Jon are here to help you build.
Kelsey Breseman and Jon McKay are Steering Committee members on the Tessel project, and two of Tessel's creators. Both come from an engineering background: Jon in Computer Engineering, and Kelsey in Neural Engineering. They've been working for the past two years on building Tessel's mission: to create a fully open source hardware & software platform that makes it easy and intuitive to develop Internet-connected devices for software developers.
