Shenzhen’s world famous Hua Qiang Bei market is on our doorstep. Ninety percent of the world’s electronics is made in the South China region and sold here. You need to see it to believe it.

We will be shopping for components for our own personal projects and also some for the Dim Sum Labs community. If you want to buy some components, you are welcome to join us. This is not a formal / professional guided tour – just a…

Let’s build your creative application yourself!
MaxMSP is an easy to learn visual programming language that helps you build complex, interactive programs within minutes, and without any prior experience with coding. It has been invented in the 80’s and has become ever since a standard for many creatives. Artists such as Aphex Twin, Radiohead and Autechre, as well as countless VJs, interaction designers, and tinkerers all over the world are using it as a privileged tool.

You will learn the basic electronics concepts in a hands-on way, building a project that flashes, beeps and make noises!

No electronics or programming experience required. Take home an Arduino compatible board and components to continue your experiments on your own and be able to create fantastic projects.

Following the success of our Take Apart sessions which are very popular with kids, Dim Sum Labs have started a new series of detailed tear downs of more complex devices, specifically aimed at adults.

This time we’ll tear down a desktop computer tower.

We will tear it down as a group, walking through from how to carefully get into the casing to the functions of each component as we go – including common failure modes and issues.
