What's Brewing: Spacebrew x Parsons MFADT

/

The excellent MFADT program at Parsons invited Spacebrew to build a Collab class this semester. After diving into the nuts and bolts of Spacebrew, we had students build tutorials around the basics, including web-based apps, physical computing projects, and projects that featured Spacebrew's powerful custom types. 

The results have been amazing! In the coming weeks, we will start adding student-contributed tutorials to the section on this site. Until then, here are a few to check out!

Forget Me Not: Remote flower watering

Remote Party: Make a dramatic entrance to a party 

Next Round: An interactive beer coaster 

Using custom types in openFrameworks

Do Disturb Me: Sharing presence and personal status

Controlling sound with Spacebrew + LeapMotion

Arduino Laser Turret

For the remainder of the semester, students are working on large projects that either a) demonstrate unique capabilities of Spacebrew through an installation/experience, b) expand the capabilities of Spacebrew, or c) expand the Spacebrew community. 

Follow our progress at http://mfadt.parsons.edu/2013/ and keep an eye on this section and the tutorials!

About

This weekend we put on Spacebrew's first day-long intensive, diving into basics (libraries, examples), running your own server, and advanced topics (persistent admin, admin API). The workshop was at NYU's ITP program, and was part of their new 1 credit class initiative.

Students built projects with Spacebrew over the course of the weekend, building simple stories around a combination of existing examples and custom apps. It was a great experience, and hopefully one we'll repeat in the future!
