[Imc-makerspace] Arduino robotics workshop updates and things

[Jeffrey Putney]

So I wanted to just keep everyone up to date on whats going down with the
arduino/robotics workshop this weekend because I think it's pretty
exciting.

1. We have two expert guest teachers running the arduino/robotics
workshop: Thomas
Houlahan and Brian Baker(Brian is coming in from out of town just for us).
Every year they teach a week-long course on Microcontrollers for IMSA high
school students, and this Saturday(7/23) they have prepared a special short
course for the Urbana Makerspace workshop series.

2. As Brian Duggan already mentioned to the group, hardware for the workshop
has been ordered and arrived and will be available for everyone to use even
after the workshop is over. A few more adruino boards still need to be
soldered up, which is great easy!! soldering practice for anyone who needs
it, so stop in tonight during open hours(7/20 @ 7pm) if you feel like
getting your solder on.

3. Some ways to help promote if your interested:
Send the facebook event page
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=166102826794414 to anyone you think
might be interested.
Send the makerspaceu.net page http://makerspaceu.net/?q=node/16727 to anyone
who hates facebook.
Follow and retweet

Hopefully see you tonight,
Jeff
