Tangible Electronics for Teaching and Learning is a cross-listed course between NYU Steinhardt’s Educational Communication and Technology (ECT) program and NYU Tandon’s Integrated Design & Media program (IDM), combining theory and practice for
researching, designing, and prototyping tangible educational technology. Students will gain an understanding of theoretical frameworks and best practices for undertaking a practice-
based research project in educational technology. Learners will analyze a learning context, identify learning objectives, conduct primary research, and work collaboratively with a “client”
in the field to develop and iterate on tangible designs for learning. Students will learn techniques for rapid prototyping, including techniques for brainstorming, mocking up ideas in low-fi materials, iteration, and will gain an introduction to the Tandon MakerSpace. Students will also gain an overview of physical computing, including how to use microcontrollers to interface with sensors and actuators, in order to implement their designs and gain feedback.
