Mitch FR UK DE NL Tour 2015

Mitch Altman and Jimmie Rodgers are creating:

FR + UK + DE +NL Workshop Tour 2015!

                      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.

Our workshops are for all ages, and all skill levels.

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!

Workshops & Talks

This is the workshop that we can do for this tour:

• 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!
        Itinerary:
                 * intro
                 * demo of all available kits, and how they work
                 * learn how to solder!
                 * everyone solders their kit, with as much help as they need

• We can also give talks, if there's interest.
• I'm also happy to share experience and compare notes on keeping spaces and communities healthy and strong.
• Anything that can help out your hackerspace!
