[Imc-makerspace] upcoming Arduino workshop (and Allen Hall workshops)

Fri Mar 16 03:34:43 UTC 2012

Hi everyone,

I've created a doodle covering the next 3 weekends (Sat & Sunday only) over
a few-hour time period.  Please fill it out as best you can:

It might be a little too short notice for this weekend but it doesn't hurt
to try.

Regards,
~Gergana
