Not necessarily: “Building stuff is neat but it’s practical applications that 
keeps people interested.” It’s different for different people.

Anyway, make.br looks cool. If a joint event sounds like a win let us know 
make.br!

After finally tracking down make.br (not a domain, initially I thought maybe 
they’d been slash dotted) it looks like only a few people attending - it might 
have helped to explain just what a Joule Thief actually does to get people 
interested.  Building stuff is neat but it’s practical applications that keeps

I’ve been very pleased to see the renewed interest in this forum recently - it

Does a circuit board look like pure magic? Have you ever wondered how a bunch 
of wires and strange looking parts come together to make a functioning device? 
Or have you dabbled in electronics before and need a bit of review or just want 
to learn more and build a cool project?

Whichever your situation, join us for a two part class and walk away with an 
awesome Joule Thief flashlight and loads of knowledge!

We'll start off with an introduction on the first day to the various circuit 
components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, LEDs, transistors, 
etc We'll build some simple circuits on breadboards to showcase each 
component's abilities and make sure you have the necessary knowledge for part 2.

In the second session we'll build up a Joule Thief circuit on a breadboard, 
discuss how/why it works, and then you'll solder it into a compact 
self-contained circuit to take home.

(Part 2 will require soldering, so if you need to learn how to solder, join us 
an hour early on Thursday for an intro to soldering.)

Part 1: Tuesday, July 26, 7:00 - 9:00pm
Part 2: Thursday, July 28, 7:00 - 9:00pm

Standard cost: $50 (Plus separate $15 for the soldering class) + processing fees

If it's any indication, here in Denver, a similar meetup saw the tragic
demise of much alcohol, and an increase in the amount of cash a given
bartender might have.

The local hackerspace, Denhac, when first getting started, we fortunately
happened to pick a local bar that was frequented by a lot of the dc303
crowd.

Good times were had.
