Physiological Sensing	Here we show the basics about our theme: Physiological Sensing. We had three devices: Bitalino, myo wristband and a muscle stimulation device. On this wiki page you learn the basics about how to „read and write“ the human body.
Wearables/ Interactive Clothes	This page introduces the Adafruit Flora and NeoPixels and the LilyPad Arduino. These are microcontrollers that can be sewn into clothes, thus make the clothes interactive.

Enviromental Measurements	This page introduces environmental measurements. Here you will find information about the mostly used sensors, the applications for environmental measurements and the principles behind them. Furthermore, we had a closer look at three commercial products: the SparkFun Weather Shield, Relayr Wunderbar and Smart Citizen Kit. For the first two, we also made a short and easy to understand demo.

PiMu	Earlier we had music players which had haptic elements as medium for music like cassettes, CDs… Today this is nearly gone by using online streams or downloads. Also were these tangible mediums likely to break. Especially for children with low fine motor skills, this is not a suitable way to enjoy music. As solution we present PiMu. An easy to use music player with tangible, collectable music mediums, robust design and meaningful light based feedback system, every child will enjoy - we hope.
