Abstract

If you're intrigued by hardware but don't know where to start - this crash course is for you! You'll learn to solder & assemble your own cat-shaped console - the DevKitty - and will walk away with a powerful prototyping & hacking companion that fits in your pocket!

We'll familiarize you with the basic skills & tools to start prototyping your own mini projects, including beginner friendly coding through CircuitPython.

You'll also be briefly introduced to processes like circuit board design & 3D printing when you're ready to take your projects to the next level! Be sure to bring your hardware questions to this flexible session.

NOTE: As a prerequisite to this workshop, attendees need to build a DevKitty. There are several "Solder Your Own DevKitty" workshops each day where you can do this.

Materials cost: none
