Some of you have likely heard about this already, but for those who haven't, there are a couple upcoming courses at PNCA that may be of interest.

The first is Physical Computing for Artists, being taught by our own Don Davis (though, I have it from a reliable source that one Collin Oldham may also make a guest appearance!). The course will be focused on using the Arduino to sense and control objects within the physical space. This is a new course at PNCA and I hope to see it continue on into the future.

The other course, which has made frequent reappearances in the PNCA catalogue, is Theremins + Monophonic Synthesizers. This course will teach you about building electronic instruments without micro controllers, focusing on analog devices, from what I can tell. Mark Keppinger has been teaching this course for a number of years and it looks to be a very interesting experience. More info here: https://cereg.pnca.edu/p/adult/s/129

Both of these look great. Please let anyone you know outside of the DorkbotPDX community about them!
