We’re dedicated to inspiring people of all ages to explore electronics through fun hands-on educational workshops based on core electronics skills.

Workshop Description

Join us for a 1.5 hour (90-minute) hands-on workshop for beginners and enthusiasts.

On the day choose a badge design from a skull, owl, rocket, pirate or robot.

After a safety briefing we’ll guide you step-by-step through soldering and the electronics behind your interactive badge. At the end you’ll know how all parts work!
