2015 hackspace classes

2015-01-13

homework in pen

Marginally Clever is going to be running more classes at the Vancouver Hack Space in 2015 than ever before.  I’ll make the process smooth enough that you can run them at your hackspace, too.  Here are some of the planned courses I’ll be doing.

  • Learn to solder (TV-B-Gone)
  • Arduino Programming 101: LED ticker
  • Arduino Programming 201: LED Tetris + make your own joystick
  • Build a Line following robot
  • Build a Maze solving robot
  • Build a Core XY system (basis for any CNC machine)
  • Making a game console from a Raspberry Pi
  • RFID+U
  • Discover the VHS membership system API

More to be revealed as my plans unfold.  I would love to run a class every weekend somewhere in the world but for that I would need reliable people who want to make money.  Yes, you heard me right: I’ll pay you to run a class at your local hackspace using the course notes and kit parts I put together.  It’s a win/win/win situation.  More details as the program gels together.

Would you like to take a class?  Would you like to lead a class?  What would you like to learn?  Have you lead a class and do you have tips?
