This is why I'm hot.

Exciting news! Starting in Jan M, we’re offering low-cost in-person Learn to Solder and Basic Electronics workshops here in San Luis Obispo, thanks to a DEI grant from the City of SLO. Workshops are open to everyone, & we encourage people from demographics underrepresented in STEM to come! We are inclusive, welcoming, and anti-gatekeeping. If you’re at all curious about how circuits work, join us!

Sign ups are on our website here:

Another great video from Allie! I really need to take some pottery classes so I can eventually work up to cool techniques like this using 3D printing!

emotional support robot: ongoing tests. (also, as a side note, this whole vibe of random motions — sometimes blinking, sometimes tilting, always a bit stochastic — was very much inspired by @Jorvon_Moss’s talk at last year’s @hackaday Supercon)
