Upcoming Omniversity courses

[Natalie Whittaker]

Dear All, 

I wanted to let you know about some of our upcoming courses that might be of interest. 

Our programme of professional training courses - Omniversity - aims to make cutting-edge skills available and affordable to creatives around the North West, and beyond. 

1st September 
Beginners' Guide to Arduino and Physical Computing 

We think Arduino is one of the most exciting things around - because the possibilities really are endless. This micro-controller has powered some fantastic art projects already. Maybe yours could be next? Don't worry, you don't have to be a tech geek to enrol. This is about making the technology work for you, so it can be applied to all kinds of weird and wonderful real-world environments. Just think about what you could do with a computer input providing information - and the expanses of your imagination to do the rest. If you want to learn about how your computer can connect to the physical world, then Arduino is for you.


22nd and 23rd September 
WordPress for Beginners 

WordPress co-founder Mike Little is coming to MadLab to teach you how to build your own home on the web, from scratch. Some of the most-high profile companies and individuals in the world use WordPress. If you want to join them, think of this course as the bricks and mortar telling you how to install software, add content, interact with your readers, customise your look and make the site work for you. Mike's last WordPress course quickly sold out and got the Omniversity our first 11 out of 10 (very Spinal Tap!) - one not to miss.

I hope this will be of interest - do let me know if you have any questions. 

Best wishes, 

Natalie
