Abstract

This work-in-progress paper describes the lessons learned when introducing Arduino and Processing programming into a museum exhibition design course. 20 information design students from Sweden, with no previous knowledge in programming, participated in the course. The students’ task was to create five interactive exhibition stations at a museum in five weeks. As an experiment, Arduino and Processing programming was introduced into the course in 2014. The ambition with the experiment was to enlarge the information design students’ repertoire and find ways to develop the inter-active aspects of the exhibition medium.The aim of the paper is to identify and discuss challenges and strengths when introducing code as design material in information design education. The findings presented are based on the students’ reflection stories. This work is in progress and we aim in the future to 1) continue the analysis of the material 2) with the find-ings develop the information design education further and 3) explore the relation between tangible and intan-gible experience of interactive museum artifacts from a designer’s and a museum visitor’s perspective. We consider this to be an important matter with branches into the TEI community. We appreciate any feedback on our work.
