Anyone can learn to solder! Even if you have never made anything in your life, you can learn this very useful and enjoyable skill. It really is fun!

Mitch Altman will bring open source electronic kits to make cool, practical, intriguing, hackable things that you can bring home after you make it. Mitch has taught tens of thousands of people how to solder all around the world. He can teach you, too! Of course, you can also bring your own projects to hack. And if you have anything to fix, bring it by! Get help, or give help. Or, just come by and hack.


What

A place to get together to solder cool stuff! You can easily learn all of the skills you need in a short time. Make a project, and take it home with you! If you have your own project (advanced or simple), bring it by, and if you would like help, you can get it!
