ABSTRACT
Physical computing involves using embedded computing to interact with the physical world. It’s a core technology for interactive computing. This assignment introduces physical computing through the incorporation of LEDs into handmade paper to make an interactive, visual, and physical artifact.

Situating Physical Computing in Secondary CS Education
ICER '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on International Computing Education ResearchPhysical Computing is the design and creation of interactive objects, which are programmed tangible media that integrate sensors and actuators. It uses methods and ideas, for example, of embedded systems, cyber physical systems and IoT devices. In ...
The nature of physical computing in schools: findings from three years of practical experience
Koli Calling '17: Proceedings of the 17th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education ResearchThe recent integration of physical computing in computer science (CS) school curricula has led to an urge for suitable tools, elaborate lesson plans, best practice reports and detailed descriptions and manuals. Creatively designing tangible interactive ...
Physical computing in computer science education
ICER '14: Proceedings of the tenth annual conference on International computing education researchPhysical computing covers the design and realization of interactive objects and installations and allows students to develop concrete, tangible products of the real world, which arise from the learners' imagination. This can be used in computer science ...
