WORKSHOP A RADIATION:<\/p>\n

Workshop focus is on detection of environmental radiation where there would be an opportunity to use a range of state of-the-art radiation detector systems in order to learn how these different systems can be used to locate and characterise ionising radiation in our environment.<\/p>\n

WORKSHOP B PROGRAMMING:<\/p>\n

Session focus is on Arduino – programming for the real world. The Arduino is an open software\/hardware microprocessor platform which can interact with the real world via digital and analogue I\/O using a variety of sensors, switches and actuators (motors, servos, LEDs).<\/p>\n

WORKSHOP C MUSIC:<\/p>\n

\u201cAn introduction to AVID Pro Tools for music and post production\u201d in support of the Music Technology National awards will be provided through a tailored practical session.
