Workshop 2015 – Video Pool Media Arts Centre

Basic Electronics – Digital Logic with Andrew Milne

Learning how to create with electronics can be a very challenging process for an individual to learn without significant support. Many concepts and skills need to be internalized before independent learning and development can efficiently take place. In response to this obstacle for developing media creators, Video Pool Media Arts Centre will provide a mini-course in DIY Technology Design and Creation for Winnipeg media artists.
