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 don’t know what a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is, 
you’ve 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.
