TAGGED : A hands-on RFID workshop
Friday, February 10, 17, 24 and March 3; 10.30 4.30pm
at SPACE
Do you know how an Oyster card works? Or security stickers in shops?
Even if you dont know what a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is,
youve probably used one at the grocers checkout, on the bus, tracking a
package or in your passport at the airport.
RFID is the barcode of the future. It is a unique identification code that
can be tracked through radio waves, sometimes without human contact or
knowledge. RFID may help create a real-life internet, where objects can
communicate with each other to create complex networks, exchange useful
information, and do things for you in every day life. But it could also have
a huge impact on commercial industry, security and privacy.
Learn about electronics, art, technology, computer programming and more in
this four-day, hands-on workshop. Find out exactly how RFID works, who is
using it and what it means for you and your community. Experiment with the
technology and imagine what you can do with it in art, industry and play
then get a head start on making it happen.
