<div>
<div>Josh Kopel and Eric McNeil will be leading us in a kit workshop!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Learn a bit about soldering and constructing circuit
boards, burn your fingers, and end up with a cool new toy to take home,
while at the same time benefiting our hosts and friends at 911 Media
Arts Center. Your ticket purchase gets you kit materials with a little
extra thrown in for us to buy soldering irons etc. for 911 Media Arts
Center workshop classes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have identified three great kits to build:</div>
<div><br>
1.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> The
infamous TV-B-Gone</span></div>
<div>This
is a fairly complex kit, but it comes with a high quality printed
circuit board and all the parts needed to turn off any modern TV from
up to 150 feet! If you choose this one MAKE SURE to bring 2 AA
batteries to power your kit.<br>
<br>
2.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> BEAM Robot</span></div>
<div>BEAM
is an acronym standing for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics
and represents a very simple approach to building low power robots with
almost biological properties. <span>These aren't kits, as much as they
are an inexpensive bag of components so you can build yourself a small
robot (instructions included). This kit requires some manual
construction, and is not recommended for absolute beginners, but don't
let that stop you! This one is solar powered so no batteries are
required.<br>
<br>
3. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> The Solar
Powered Theremin</span></span></div>
<div><span>This
is another battery free solar powered marvel. Use free energy from the
sun to produce lovely music, or at the last some fun sounding warbles.
This is the simplest choice and is best for beginners. The kit is
designed to fit in an "industry standard" mint tin which is not
included, so if you want an enclosure you will need to bring your own.</span><br>
<br>
Kit Night tickets are $30.00 each which gets you the kit of your
choice, and the warm feeling of helping out a great organization.<br>
<br>
Dorkbot
will be able supply some tools and solder, but if you have a soldering
iron or tool kit of your own please bring it along to make sure there
are enough to go around.<br>
