Soldering Workshop - Collexion |
Conduct a soldering workshop to educate the community and drum up interest in DIY activities!
##Project ideas:
-
Solar-powered Pummer nocturnal light flasher (cost + parts list? $15-$20?)
-
TV-B-Gone mischief-maker ($19.50 @ AdaFruit)
-
Alarm Clock ($24.95 @ Sparkfun)
-
Electronic Dice ($19.95 @ Sparkfun)
-
MintyBoost ($19.50 @ AdaFruit)
-
USB BoarDuino ($25.00 @ AdaFruit)Note: AdaFruit offers a 40% discount on kits purchased by hackerspaces, with a $250 minimum order. That's probably $250 post-discount, right?
##Workshop Organization:
-
Borrow soldering irons from the community, purchase as few as possible (40W+).
-
Make sure the space has solder, flux, desoldering braid, and tip-cleaning supplies like cellulose sponges.
-
Find a way to project live video for instructor demonstration.
-
Advertise, maybe point out common uses for soldering?
