Electronics Tuesdays
Details
Tuesday is Electronics night at Fat Cat Fab Lab!
This event is FREE and open to adults 18 years and older.
We are starting a new rotation in order to create greater focus each week.
Each month:
1st Tuesday - Arduino for total beginners - formal presentation.
2nd Tuesday - Arduino for beginners and intermediate
3rd Tuesday - BBC Microbit ( great for STEM teachers)
4th&5th Tuesday - ESP8266 ( built-in WiFI , great for IOT)
We have lots of Arduinos, BBC Microbits, ESP8266s, sensors and output devices, so bring your laptop and come join us for a fun hands-on learning experience.
We help new users get started, or come to learn, teach, share, and work on your existing projects.
Electronics enthusiasts are welcome to come and work on any platform any week, but the priority each week as far as our host(s) providing teaching and assistance any week will be to the platform scheduled for that week.
