Can we do a workshop at your hackerspace or library or museum or school or artist space (or wherever!) this May?
(We are currently all booked for the UK -- so we're looking for any and all hackerspaces in Germany.)

Please email me for questions, or to get more info:
mitch *at* CornfieldElectronics *dot* com

Since we were paid by the UK Maker Faire to go to/from Europe, Mitch and Jimmie be doing some workshops at UK hackerspaces and at the UK Maker Faire, and then taking the train to Berlin on 3-May, where we'll be giving workshops at any interested spaces in Germany till 4-June, when Mitch flies home to San Francisco. (Jimmie flies home at an earlier date, yet TBD.)

Workshops & Talks

  • Variety of Cool Kits / Learn to Solder workshop (3 hours)

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 -- soldering actually is easy!
Please see the Workshop page for more info on the workshop, and a list of kits, and their cost

  • We can also give talks, if there's interest.
  • Anything that can help out your hackerspace!

Kits

Here's some of the kits that will be available:

  • TV-B-Gone -- (turn off any TV in public places!)
  • "Hi My Name Is" badge -- (you may have seen me wearing mine)
  • Brain Machine -- (Meditate, Hallucinate, and Trip Out!)
  • Mignonette Game -- (build your own handheld game console!)
  • Trippy RGB Waves -- (interactive blinky lights!)
  • LEDcube -- (animated 3D cube of LEDs!)
  • MiniPOV -- (more cool blinky lights!)
  • BoArduino -- (solderless breadboard Arduino!)
  • Diavolino -- (shield compatible Arduino from Evil Mad Science!)
  • OpenHeart -- (animate fun patterns in the shape of a heart!)
  • LoL Shield -- (Lots of LEDs for your Arduino!)
  • Atari Punk Console -- (make noise!)
  • microcontroller programmer (USBtinyISP)-- (program all your AVR family chips!)

And more!

Workshops are great ways to get new people to your hackerspace, and to energize people already at the space. You can also use them to raise funds, if you like.

Me and Jimmie don't make money from our workshops. The money we charge ($10 to $35, depending on the kit) pays for kit parts and travel. We do this because we love teaching people how to make cool things! And we love helping hackerspaces.
