We'll be bringing lots of our kits, all designed for total beginners, but fun and intriguing enough for everyone. We can teach anyone and everyone how to solder -- [http://mightyohm.com/blog/2011/04/soldering-is-easy-comic-book/ soldering actually is easy]! And we can teach more advanced topics, too. I can also give my "[http://www.cornfieldelectronics.com/downloads/tvbg_arduino/tvbg_arduino_workshop.htm Arduino For Total Newbies]" workshop. And Jimmie can give his "Circuit Bending" workshop. We can also give talks, if there's interest. Anything that can help out your hackerspace!
