******************************************************************************************************************
Josh Kopel and Eric McNeil will be leading us in a kit workshop!
Learn a bit about soldering and constructing circuit boards, burn your
fingers, and end up with a cool new toy to take home, while at the same
time benefiting our hosts and friends at 911 Media Arts Center. Your ticket
purchase gets you kit materials with a little extra thrown in for us to buy
soldering irons etc. for 911 Media Arts Center workshop classes.
We have identified three great kits to build:
1. The infamous TV-B-Gone
This is a fairly complex kit, but it comes with a high quality printed
circuit board and all the parts needed to turn off any modern TV from up to
150 feet! If you choose this one MAKE SURE to bring 2 AA batteries to power
your kit.
2. BEAM Robot
BEAM is an acronym standing for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics
and represents a very simple approach to building low power robots with
almost biological properties. These aren't kits, as much as they are an
inexpensive bag of components so you can build yourself a small robot
(instructions included). This kit requires some manual construction, and is
not recommended for absolute beginners, but don't let that stop you! This
one is solar powered so no batteries are required.
3. The Solar Powered Theremin
This is another battery free solar powered marvel. Use free energy from the
sun to produce lovely music, or at the last some fun sounding warbles. This
is the simplest choice and is best for beginners. The kit is designed to
fit in an "industry standard" mint tin which is not included, so if you want
an enclosure you will need to bring your own.
Kit Night tickets are $30.00 each which gets you the kit of your choice, and
the warm feeling of helping out a great organization.
Dorkbot will be able supply some tools and solder, but if you have a
soldering iron or tool kit of your own please bring it along to make sure
there are enough to go around.

We'll be ordering the kits online so please purchase tickets by Oct 20th.
As always, special thanks to our hosts at 911 Media Art Center!! if you
