I have the following plans so far -- and there's room for plenty more! | |||
* '''July 1''' -- arrive in ''NYC'' | |||
* '''July 7''' -- workshop at The Hacktory, ''Philadelphia'' | |||
* '''July 13-15''' -- HOPE #9, ''New York City'' | |||
* '''July 21-22''' -- Awesome Foundation Summit, ''Boston'' | |||
* '''July 27-29''' -- World Future Society conference, ''Toronto'' | |||
* '''August 8-12''' -- ToorCamp, ''NW corner of Washington state'' | |||
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! | |||

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. | Me and Jimmie don't make money from our workshops.

I'd love to add your hackerspace to our tour. Please let me know if you're interested, and I'll reply with an email with a minimal list of what's required on your end. | I'd love to add your hackerspace to our tour.
