Mitch Altman is coming back to Bristol!
Mitch Altman is a co-founder of the Noisebridge Hackerspace in San Francisco and is a major figure in the global Maker movement. He’s also the inventor of such excellent gadgets as the TV-B-Gone and Trip Glasses. He and Jimmie Rodgers (inventor of the Lots-of-LEDs Arduino shield among other kits) are in the UK for the Maker Faire in Newcastle on 27th and 28th April, after which they’re touring a few Hackspaces, including ours!
Mitch and Jimmie will be running a public workshop at Bristol Hackspace on Saturday 11th May at 12pm.
The workshop will be open to people of all abilities and ages (children to be accompanied by an adult please) and will involve soldering together their kits. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to solder, Mitch, Jimmie and members of Bristol Hackspace will be on hand to show you how.
The workshop will cost £10 for Hackspace members and £20 for non-members, and will last about three hours. You will probably also want to buy a kit or two.
