==Itinerary For This Workshop==
==Itinerary==


* We will start by learning to solder.  Don't let this scare you!  I've taught well over 30,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives.  It is actually a very easy skill to learn.  It is also very useful. And fun!

* Then we will each make our own [http://www.arduino.cc/ Arduino] clone from a kit made by Ladyada:  [http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=72 BoArduino].

* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Aruino!  You'll put together your own [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control using your [http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=72 BoArduino].  We will use a [http://www.techdose.com/electronics/How-to-Use-Solderless-Breadboards/252/page1.html solderless breadboard].  These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.
