Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII), a post-graduate academic institution for interaction design teaching and research, developed in 2001-2004 an innovative teaching approach to introduce artists and designers to the world of physical computing and electronics.
Student Hernando Barragán developed the Wiring platform, while teacher Casey Reas co-developed the Processing language, both instrumental for the subsequent development of the Arduino platform.
In 2004 IDII decided to share their know-how with other schools and designers. I coordinated the information architecture of the didactic materials and related web site (www.nastypixel.com/instantsoup)
