DESCRIPTION:**[Arduino](http://arduino.cc/)** is an amazingly powerful too
 l that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and
  non-geeks can start from nothing\, and make something cool happen in less
  than 90 minutes. Yet\, it is powerful enough so that experienced expert g
 eeks can use it for their projects as well.  \n  \nThis workshop is easy e
 nough for _**total newbies**_ to **learn all you need to know to get going
  on an Arduino.**  \n  \nParticipants will make their own Arduino clone\, 
 and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own [TV-B-Gone](http
 ://www.tvbgone.com) remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a f
 un way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics.  \n  \n**Materials costs
 **:  \nThe workshop is free\, but if you would like to partake in the hand
 s-on aspects of the workshop\, Mitch will have materials for **€40** (us
 eful for making many different cool projects).  \n  \n**Taught by** [Mitch
  Altman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman).  \n  \n_**Optional**:
   Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software 
 installed on it.  \nArduino software runs on Windows\, MacOS and Linux._

 lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics!\n* Then we 
 will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousa
 nds of people to solder\, most of whom have never made anything before in 
 their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very us
 eful.\n* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit.\n* Now t
 hat we each have our own Arduino board\, we will set up the free and open-
 source *Arduino software* on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows\, L
 inux\, and MacOS are all fine!\n* And then its time to make something and 
 learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to r
 ead schematic diagrams\, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote
  control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboa
 rd. These are really useful\, and provide a fast\, and very easy way to pu
 t circuits together without needing to solder.\n* Target practice is avail

DESCRIPTION:# Build Your Own Air Quality Sensor\n\nAir pollution affects m
 any people’s daily lives\, not only those living near industrial centres
 . In Ireland\, official air quality monitoring relies on a limited number 
 of sensors\, so local and short-term pollution sources can be missed. In t
 his 90-minute\, hands-on workshop\, you’ll build your own particulate ma
 tter (PM2.5) air quality sensor using a kit of off-the-shelf parts\, then 
 connect it to the Internet so you can view and share the data.\n\n## Senso
 r.Community\n[Sensor.Community](https://sensor.community/) is an open\, gl
 obal citizen science network where people build low-cost sensors and share
  environmental data. Once your device is online\, it can publish readings 
 so you can track trends over time and compare data across different locati
 ons.\n\n## What You’ll Learn\nDuring the workshop\, you’ll assemble a 
 working PM2.5 air quality sensor and get it online. We’ll cover the basi
 cs of IoT devices\, local data collection\, and how to publish readings to
  Sensor.Community. You’ll also learn what the numbers mean\, what these 
 sensors are good for\, and where their limits are.\n\n## Materials\nYou’
 ll work with:\n- ESP8266 board\n- SDS011 particulate matter sensor (PM2.5 
 and PM10)\n- BME280 sensor (temperature\, humidity\, air pressure)\n- USB 
 cable\n- Jumper wires\n- Plastic tube (air inlet)\n\n## Requirements\n- A 
 device with a web browser and WiFi\, such as a phone or laptop\n- All setu
 p is browser-based\, no software install needed\n- No previous experience 
 required\, beginner-friendly\n\n## Materials Costs\nIt costs **€60** for
  a kit to take home.\n\n## Instructions\n[Slides](https://docs.google.com/

DESCRIPTION:### EMF Explorer Badge Soldering Workshop\n\nIn this hands-on 
 build-and-explore workshop\, participants assemble their own **[EMF Explor
 er Badge](https://emfexplorer.space)** using guided soldering instruction\
 , learn the science of electromagnetic frequency bands\, and plug in headp
 hones to *listen* to the invisible world around them. Every participant ta
 kes home their own exploration kit: badge + headphones\, ready for EMF exp
 loring with an illuminated badge that can be used at night for visibility 
 and bling.\n\n---\n\n##### Material Costs\n€20 - €30\n\n---\n\n##### W
 orkshop Itinerary\n- **Welcome + Electronics and Soldering Info** We will 
 show you how to solder. Anyone who can safely hold a soldering iron can do
  it! It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.  \
 n- **EMF Explanation and Badge Creation Overview** Learn about what EMF is
 \, where it comes from\, and how the badge works.   \n- **Badge Assembly**
  Get to soldering! We will be available to help you along the way.  \n- **
 Check your work\, and power up your badge!** \n- **Wrap-Up + Q&A** \n- **L
 ive Exploration!** You are surrounded by interesting electronics at 39C3. 
 Go exploring! What new sounds do you hear? Some of the most unassuming ele
 ctronics can make the most interesting sounds. \n\n---\n\n##### Registrati
 on Info\nBuy a kit at the Hardware Hacking Area to guarantee a seat\, or c
 ome by early! (And please do arrive early\, regardless!) First-come\, firs
 t-served.\n- **Age:** anyone who can safely hold a soldering iron\n- **Exp
 erience level:** No prior soldering experience required\n- **Take-home:** 
 Your assembled badge + headphones included\n\n---\n\n##### Links\n[EmfExpl
 orer.Space](https://emfexplorer.space)\n\n---\n\n##### Instructor Notes\nT
 his is a **beginner-first hardware workshop**. The goal is skill building\
 , curiosity\, and real-world electronics exploration. The badge is both a 
 tool and a conversation piece: it senses EMF\, plays it through audio\, an
 d glows for visibility and bling.\n\n---\n\n##### Taught by **[Drc3p0](htt

DESCRIPTION:**Surface Mount Electronics Assembly for Terrified Beginners**
   \n  \nIn this workshop\, we will learn to handle the tiniest electronic 
 components\, which are used to make modern electronic devices. We will che
 at the same way the electronics industry does\, and learn the techniques o
 f stencil paste printing and reflow soldering. You will learn a technique 
 that stops your hands from shaking\, so you can very very precisely place 
 microscopic parts. We will make an electronic cat that purrs if you handle
  it correctly. No prior experience or knowledge of anything electronic nee
 ded. Caffeine use is not recommended immediately before. All tools are pro
 vided.  Takes around 2 hours.   \n  \n**Materials costs**:  \n20€ if you
  want to make a board\, free to observe.    \n  \n**Taught by** Kliment.

DESCRIPTION:What is a **[Brain Machine](https://cornfieldelectronics.com/c
 fe/projects.php#brainmachine)**? It's a fascinating device that generates 
 light and sound pulses at brainwave frequencies. These can help achieve va
 rious states of consciousness\, such as meditation or improved sleep.  \n 
  \nIn this workshop for **total beginners** we will all make a **[Brain Ma
 chine](https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/projects.php#brainmachine)** t
 hat is preprogrammed with a really nice meditation sequence. As well as a 
 device that can help you relax and meditate\, a nice bonus is that everyon
 e hallucinates beautiful colors and patterns along the way.  \n  \nThe Bra
 in Machine is totally [open hardware](https://github.com/maltman23/Brain_M
 achine_kit)\, and created to be hackable\, so you can re-program it with a
 ny computer\, with software that is free to download and use.  \n  \nThis 
 workshop is for **total beginners** to learn to solder.  \n  \nFor ages 10
  - 100.  \n  \n**Materials costs**:  \nThe workshop is free\, but if you w
 ould like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop\, Mitch will 
 have Brain Machine kits for **€25**.  \n  \n**Taught by** [Mitch Altman]
 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman).  \n  \n_**Optional**:  Bring 
 your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installe
 d on it.  \nArduino software runs on Windows\, MacOS and Linux._  \n\n_**I
 MPORTANT NOTE:** The Brain Machine uses blinking lights\, and is not recom
 mended for people who are photosensitive._\n  \n**Workshop Itinerary**:  \
 n* Intro to Sound & Light Machines\n* Learn to solder. Don't let this scar
 e you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder\, most of whom ha
 ve never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy s
 kill to learn. It is also very useful.\n* How to re-program your Brain Mac
 hine for creating other brainwave sequences  \n  \n**Registration**:  \nBu
