Tiree Tech Wave: A hands-on making and meeting event exploring the edges of technology on the wild edge of Scotland (March 22-26)

Activities at past Tiree Tech Waves have ranged from mechanical digital chips to digitally augmented fish and chips, from theatrical improvisation in design to improvised assistive technology. Come to take time to explore ideas that keep being put on the backburner, to be stimulated by others, or simply to be intellectually refreshed.

Yes, the third Tiree Tech Wave (TTW) is coming soon. The Atlantic fringe was the haven of scholarship through the Dark Ages and is the haunt of wind-surfers today. The Tech Wave tries to capture a little of the spirit of each; from mashups to breadboards, Arduino to RDF, we will consider the social and philosophical challenges of technology by engaging directly with it.
