From smartphones to wearables, from social media to quantified self, the aggregation and geo-location of data is becoming a major part of urban studies and planning.<\/p>\n<p>In this workshop, we&#8217;ll look at how we can design and deploy with some of the most commonly hackable instruments&#8211; microcontrollers, sensors, and phones&#8211; that collect urban data. The workshop should give students the physical computing resources they need to deploy their own small data collection networks. Unique to this workshop, we&#8217;ll also consider the political, historical, and social underpinnings of using these sensors in the urban environment. \u00a0The findings from these sessions\u00a0will be carried forth to a spring 2015 class at NYU ITP called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/classes\/listings\/2015\/the-quantified-self-about-town\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Quantified Self About Town<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Requirements:<\/strong> Interest in electronics and sensors.
