Hands on workshop on circuits, LEDs & more for your cosplay!
Description:
We'll start with a very quick overview of basic electronics and components, from soldering, to resistors, LED's and other light sources, switches, power sources and more advanced techniques like adding smoke effects, blinking and fading LED's, and some basic Arduino and light array work. We'll then go hands on with the included soldering and circuit kit and go over basic soldering techniques to assemble the circuit. You’ll get to leave with, not only new-found knowledge to fuel a hobby, but also a full soldering kit and the circuit you build.
You are encouraged to bring your own props or costume pieces that you'd like to add a little extra pizzazz to, and with available parts and circuit kits, we will help you give them that extra bit of life you've been striving for.
**We only have room for 10 participants. Please get your ticket to reserve your spot!!**
