SUMMARY:Electronics Faire: NFC Tag workshop with Richard Green
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to turn your home into an interactive exhibit? Well 
 now you can! Make your art talk and have your stuffed animals set a kitchen 
 timer through the power of NFC tags! In this workshop you will learn how to 
 program NFC tags with your phone and then craft your own NFC sculpture with 
 sculpey clay or with paper and glue!\n\nWhat exactly is an NFC 
 Sculpture?\nOriginally inspired by Spencer Chang’s Sigil sculpture\, 
 I’ve been making little physical objects with NFC tags embedded inside. 
 NFC tags are the very cheap electronics that power hotel keys and library 
 book checkout Systems. They’re inert on their own\, but when pressed next 
 to an NFC reader (like the one in your smartphone)\, they receive an 
 electrical current and can be used to store and read data! Your phone can 
 then do things like open a website or run an app based on the data inside 
 the tag! For example\, make a teapot out of sculpey clay that sets a 4 min 
 timer on my phone when tapped.\n\nWhat to bring:\nA smartphone – needed 
 to interact with the NFC tags.\nOptional: Collage materials and sculpey 
 will be provided\, but feel free to bring something of your own that 
 you’d like to stick an NFC tag on or in!\n\nAbout the Instructor: Hi\, 
 I'm Richard (he/they)!  Former big tech software engineer\, trying to 
 figure out how to do good with programming instead of capitalism. Currently 
 living in Philly\, formerly Seattle and the front-range of Colorado.
