POWER+RESISTANCE
By Phil Schleihauf
POWER+RESISTANCE
In this workshop, we’re going to talk about volts and empowerment. We’ll figure out how a resistor can stop our LEDs from dramatically burning up (ok we’ll burn a few first), and what resisting looks like in a world of technology and surveillance.
