CT Hackerspace proudly presents an Electronics Workshop hosted by

Mitch Altman is a San Francisco based hacker/ inventor and one of the

45-day Amtrak USA Rail Pass and is starting "Hackers on a Train 2012"

City, Mitch is conducting workshops in cities with hackerspaces (or
forming hackerspaces) in cities nearby Amtrak stations. CT Hackerspace
will be one of his stops, teaching his Electronics Workshop on

Mitch has taught thousands of people to solder and make cool things
with microcontrollers in his workshops at hacker spaces, hacker
conferences and schools almost everywhere.
