Sketching in Hardware is a three-day workshop from July 28-31, 2011 on the design, use and teaching of physical computing toolkits. It is the only annual gathering devoted exclusively to the discussion of digital hardware tools for non-specialists.The development of digital hardware toolkits has motivated significant academic research in the past decade. However, though powerful, these toolkits are still in early stages of development, akin to the earliest Web authoring programs. This annual workshop brings together key researchers, designers, developers, manufacturers, users and educators for an intimate, hands-on discussion of tools for physical computing prototyping. Its goal is to create a dialogue between disciplines and thereby lower the barrier to entry to working with digital hardware for people without a formal engineering education into.The 2011 workshop will focus on how tools build on each other, and how they work together to spawn new ideas. More specifically, it will aim to:* Encourage development of new tools and expansion of existing ones;* Support the interconnection of existing toolkit technologies;* Create software that support explorations of electronics hardware exploration; by non-specialists through interfacing with familiar software creative tools;* Identify common challenges and create opportunities for collaboration in solving those challenges.Every participant will give a 20 minute presentation, with an emphasis on topics that have not been presented publicly before. In the past these have introduced new and improved tools, demonstrated new techniques for teaching physical computing, and identified non-traditional areas where physical computing prototyping is important. In addition, there will be several guided discussions of major issues (determined in advance through email discussions). Several hours will be spent in breakout groups to introduce new toolkits and techniques.Broader Impacts: The devices, software, techniques, and social connections presented and created during the workshop are highly influential across a broad range of disciplines and audiences. By bringing together individuals from a wide range of disciplines and career stages and emphasizing the relevance of work over seniority or background, the meeting brings talented young people and people outside the usual social networks into those networks. The published talk slides are downloaded thousands of times and passed around the Internet, while connections made at the event create lasting bonds and collaborations between researchers in disparate fields.

Sketching in Hardware 是一个为期三天的研讨会，将于 2011 年 7 月 28 日至 31 日举行，内容涉及物理计算工具包的设计、使用和教学。这是唯一专门针对非专业人士讨论数字硬件工具的年度聚会。过去十年中，数字硬件工具包的发展推动了重要的学术研究。然而，尽管功能强大，这些工具包仍处于开发的早期阶段，类似于最早的 Web 创作程序。这个年度研讨会汇集了主要研究人员、设计师、开发人员、制造商、用户和教育工作者，对物理计算原型工具进行了亲密的实践讨论。其目标是在学科之间建立对话，从而降低没有接受过正规工程教育的人们使用数字硬件的门槛。2011 年研讨会将重点讨论工具如何相互构建，以及它们如何协同工作以产生新想法。更具体地说，它将旨在： * 鼓励新工具的开发和现有工具的扩展； * 支持现有工具包技术的互连； * 创建支持电子硬件探索的软件；由非专家通过与熟悉的软件创意工具交互来进行；* 识别常见挑战并创造解决这些挑战的协作机会。每位参与者将进行 20 分钟的演示，重点是以前未公开演示过的主题。过去，这些机构引入了新的和改进的工具，展示了物理计算教学的新技术，并确定了物理计算原型很重要的非传统领域。此外，还会有几次重大问题的引导性讨论（通过电子邮件讨论提前确定）。分组讨论将花费几个小时来介绍新的工具包和技术。更广泛的影响：研讨会期间提出和创建的设备、软件、技术和社会联系对广泛的学科和受众具有高度影响力。通过将来自不同学科和职业阶段的个人聚集在一起，并强调工作与资历或背景的相关性，会议将有才华的年轻人和通常社交网络之外的人带入这些网络。发表的演讲幻灯片被下载数千次并在互联网上传播，而在活动中建立的联系在不同领域的研究人员之间建立了持久的联系和合作。
