Edit File:Flags fr uk de nl hacked.jpg                       Can we do a workshop at your hackerspace or library or museum or school or artist space (or wherever!) this April & May?                              (We are still available for some dates in May in Germany.)                       Please email me with questions, or to get more info:                                 mitch *at* CornfieldElectronics *dot* com We were paid by the UK Maker Faire to go to/from Europe this spring. So Mitch Altman (starting 1-April) and Jimmie Rodgers (starting 15-April) are giving workshops and talks in Paris and around FR, at the UK Maker Faire and UK hackerspaces, back to FR, then to Berlin on 11-May, and ending in Hack In The Box in Amsterdam, where Jimmie flies home (via Iceland) to Boston on 31-May and I fly home to San Francisco on 1-June. File:Noisebridge Soldering Workshop.jpg Our workshops are for all ages, and all skill levels. File:Workshop3.jpg File:Workshop2.jpg File:Workshop.jpg Workshops are great ways to attract new cool people to your hackerspace or other organization (existing or forming), and to energize people already at the space. You can also use the workshops to raise funds, if you like. Me and Jimmie don't make money from our workshops. The money we charge (€10 to €25, 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 and other cool orgs. Would you be interested in having us do workshops at your space? We still have some dates open in Germany (please see below). Please let me know! mitch *at* CornfieldElectronics *dot* com Workshops & Talks This is the workshop that we can do for this tour: File:SolderingIsEasy cover EN.PNG 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.
