Hi all,

This Saturday, April 20 is SkullSpace's April Hackathon and the theme is
rapid prototyping and making. Here's a schedule of what will be taking
place.

2:00 - Talk by Justin: How to use AutoCAD (approx. 1 hr.) - The talk will
walk through how to design a front panel for a case and showcase the
various tools available in AutoCAD.
3:00 - Talk by Justin: How to use EAGLE (approx. 1 hr.) - The talk will
walk through how to design a basic circuit board and create an electrical
schematic using an existing circuit.
4:00 - Talk by Ben: Making your own professional circuit boards (approx. 30
mins, length subject to change)
4:30 - Talk by Robert Elms: AssentWorks
After Robert's talk, interested attendees can walk with us down to
AssentWorks for a tour of their new equipment and updated facility.
8:00 - "Official" end of Hackathon, but feel free to stay later, as many
often do.

For my talks on AutoCAD and EAGLE, you should have the applicable software
installed on your machine. Please note that AutoCAD is only available for
PC and Mac, while EAGLE is available for PC, Mac and Linux.

AutoCAD is available as trial software and can be downloaded from here:

EAGLE is available in a freemium version and can be downloaded from here:

Feel free to ask questions about your own projects during my talks - I'll
leave time for some Q&A after each talk. I'll also be around after the
AssentWorks tour to answer questions.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

~Justin
