Programming Play
summary
Claim: play reverses burnout by producing concrete, transferable work. Builds include a Raspberry Pi butt-sensor installation called booty bump that triggers eight seconds of Major Lazer and runs for about four hours before being shut off a 15-minute Facebook prank bot, a dubstep dinosaur wired through Arduino and MIDI into Ableton (demo flops but delights), a NeoPixel lamp tweetheart driven by the Twitter streaming API, a Unity/C# Flappy Bird clone taught over three days that wins an internship, and teaching over a thousand kids.
