We are inviting everyone to come and build interactive visuals with us. Anyone can collaborate either by coding with us directly or simply by giving us input on what they would like to see.

Using a Kinect sensor we will build an interactive piece on-site, improving and changing it throughout the day. At the end of every day we will save the latest of that days’ work, and it will be a representation of our collective decision making.

Build Your Own Computer Game!

CoderDojo Linz, Coding Club Linz e.V. (AT)

CoderDojo Linz is a free, volunteer-led programming club for kids. In CoderDojo, young coders discover technology, learn to write code, develop their first websites, create apps and games etc.

Kids interested in technology meet like-minded people and can work together on their projects. Kids learn about programming in a playful way. Additionally, they train important skills like logical thinking, teamwork and English. At u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD you can program your own computer game – you don’t need skills for that . . .

Students in Linz Art University’s Art Education program under the direction of Maria Anna Eckerstorfer and Helene Siebermair-Sommerer.

BORG Bad Leonfelden

In this open lab’s Gamestation, you can play your own adventure games, and on the RasPi Station, you can try out old Nintendo and Playstation games on a DIY console constructed with Makey Makey.

Plus you can help out doing live texturing of blender figures, become a game figure in your own right, and try out creative programming with Arduino and Lilypads: teach sign language to robotic hands, illuminate a T-shirt with your voice, make gloves resound, and dance across computer screen lines.

Tiny Drummer

In this open lab you have the chance to build a motor-controlled drumstick. We will show you how to assemble the parts and program an Arduino microcontroller.

After that you can make it play any rhythm you wish. Use an Arduino and Servos to create your own drum bot! Use pots, plates and other objects and turn them into a personal percussive mystery device. Additionally the “brain” of Arduino will help support different projects at the u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD Festival.

Talk: Bi.xels – Bio–Displays with Cell Free Technologies

DNA is the code and the cell is the computer. We take cells apart and extract the billion year old processors that turn DNA into protein, enzymes and molecules. You can use DNA as a program to create almost anything, anywhere. You can create vital biomolecules like insulin, or odors and smells, and bio-compatible color palettes or glow in the dark proteins.

Join us for an interesting talk, discussion and hands-on experience on how to build your own bio-display and hear about our workshops, projects and curriculum for biodesign at the Royal College of Art.

Bi.xels is an affordable and accessible toolkit to allow everyone to design, create and monitor their own DNA programed display.

Biology today is like computing in the late 1980s, simply awaiting an explosion of innovation. Technologies are developing faster than ever but some key platform technologies are still missing. People need to be able to access biology at an affordable price, in their own homes or workplaces and without enormous infrastructure.

This exhibit shows a personal bio-computer. Users can build simple biologic platforms that can be used to make, create and build with life itself.

Tinkerbots

Tinkerbots Kinematics GmbH (DE)

Tinkerbots is a unique construction kit that makes it simple for kids of all ages to build and operate countless different robots. The kit consists of active modules and passive components.

The Powerbrain is the central control element, the heart and mind of this construction kit. Movement modules make it possible to implement various forms of locomotion—driving, tipping, spinning or gripping. The movement modules are driven by servomotors; the energy is delivered by the Powerbrain’s battery. Sensor modules react to light sources and objects in the installation space. Tiny passive components called Cubies let you custom-design your robot.

All elements are easily interconnected without the use of cables, so kids as young as six can build mobile, interactive robots and get a playful introduction to mechanics, sensors and energy.
