Essentially, it is adding a mono switch to a toy to allow alternate input switch. Helps kiddos with limited hand / arm movement to turn on toys, teaching cause and effect.
I have a bunch of toys - will be holding onto them to use as part of event in March. But of course, if people want they can bring their own and take their own.
We can bring the soldering irons etc.
Question: is the space ready enough to have a bunch of people soldering? I will (again) be getting off a plane and coming straight there.
Chad I think you’ll be in good shape. Looking forward to seeing you MMC at the space. I sent you a few pics so you can see the place. I’d personally be okay running an electronics workshop in there. I’m not sure if power is setup yet to the electronics benches yet but in a pinch you could use some extension cords.
The space is still a bit jumbled/being unpacked but that just feels very “hackspace” to me.
Chad also if you need any help from VHSers on the night let us know. I know you’ll be bringing irons and of course we have some you can use at VHS. Do you need flux? I ask because I’m pretty sure our supplies are a bit low.
Also let me know if I should add it to the VHS calendar.
Woo! This will be great. @chadleaman you may have to run extension cords to the bench and table area but you should be good. When you get in it’ll be chilly so turn up the heat a bit - unless you are tougher than me.
I was only able to be there for a short while, but it was one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen. Thanks Chad for running the workshop, and for the awesome project!
