[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Arduino Cult Induction Workshop at TechShop, 1-5pm May 9

[Wm Leler]

Please distribute this information.  This is our first workshop, so we  
need extra publicity. Thanks!  --wm

-----------------------------------------------

OpenTechSpace, TechShop, and Tempus Dictum will present an "Arduino  
Cult Induction" at TechShop on Saturday, May 9 2009, from 1 to 5pm.
The cost of the workshop is $35, and includes all the parts you will  
need.
TechShop is at 10100 SW Allen Blvd, Beaverton (http://portlandtechshop.com/index.php/about-us 
)

In this workshop, you will build a complete and functional Arduino- 
compatible micro-controller (Dorkboard), upload and run a program on it.
The Arduino development environment is very popular with artists and  
other creative people, and can be built and programmed even if you  
have little hardware or software experience.
