I'm starting to get calls for PCB Event badges for 2024.

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:

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)

Quick reminder that our free US shipping promo on orders over $25 ends tonight at midnight Pacific time! Use code CHEERS.

Soldering kits (or no-soldering-required kits) make great gifts! We’ve got a bunch of fun twist-together ornaments that are quick circuit projects, great for beginners or anyone who likes playing with LEDs.
