The lab is open to work on student projects, building prototypes with digital fabrication tools, getting advice from experts, attending applied lectures on e-textiles, prototyping with Arduino, shape-changing materials, etc. **The only requirement** to be part of the MIDDLA community is to currently have a student or employee status at KTH and express a genuine interest in interaction design. If you're not affiliated to KTH but would like to collaborate, email us! :) EMAIL: **** ## Connect with us :bulb::speech\_balloon: #### Join the group on Facebook: [/groups/makersofmiddla/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/makersofmiddla/) #### Follow us on Facebook: [/kth.middla](https://www.facebook.com/kth.middla/events/admin/) #### Follow us on Instagram: [@kth.middla](https://www.instagram.com/kth.middla/) ## When is Middla booked for courses or workshops? {% embed url="" %} ## News August 2020.
