**@ Room #1**
Joe Saavedra, adjunct professor at Parson's School of Design NYC and developer of the Citizensensor.cc project, will lead a half-day workshop (13:30-17:30) for the beginner Arduino/Pachube user.
Learn how to create data feeds, input data using simple manual tools (website and mobile apps), and then automate the process via an internet-connected Arduino. This is a super-practical introduction.
