You can build this LED Art Panel!

Inspired by the work of Jim Campbell, this workshop will teach you how to solder, connect a microcontroller to a 32x32 LED matrix, and setup a hardware "vibe" coding environment. It's like having your own Salesforce Tower!

In this hands-on workshop (no experience needed!) you will:

• Learn how to solder!
• Get to know microcontrollers like the ESP32
• Build a unique lo-res display for your photos and GIFs
• Get an introduction to vibe-coding hardware with AI
• Enjoy learning and building with the TIAT community!

Display your photos and animated GIFs:

Images are autimatically compressed to 32x32 pixels when sent to the panel.

Connect wirelessly with any device:

With a direct WiFi connnection you can easily add images, adjust brightness and change timing. Adventurous tinkerers might redesign the interface entirely or add new functionality...

All materials and tools provided!

Everything you need, from soldering irons to screwdrivers.

You can enjoy the LED art panel as it is, but it's meant to be a sandbox for your own art projects, design explorations and AI experiments. It's a platform for absolute beginners and seasoned makers to explore working with hardware and creative code.

Digital effects and patterns:

Learn how to create your own patterns like these with an introduction to coding with AI.

The workshop is available at two price points. All proceeds benefit TIAT to support its ongoing workshops and the teachers who make them possible. Those who enroll at the higher price will receive an exclusive black printed circuit board as a token of thanks.
