Upcoming Classes - June 20th - Transistor Adders + OpenSCAD

[Sector67 Team]

FYI there's a couple classes coming up on June 20th:

Adding with Electricity:

Four-hour hands-on deep dive exploration of the digital electronics that power our modern world. Starting from the basics of electricity and transistors, students are introduced to the binary number system and the logic gates that power all digital electronics. Along the way, you’ll learn how solderless breadboards actually work and use transistors and resistors to build logic gates from scratch. By the end of the session, each participant will have built a functioning circuit that can add numbers, and the class will collaborate to scale that up into a larger, multi-bit adder, experiencing firsthand how individual pieces combine into real computational power. 

Intro to OpenSCAD:

A 2 hour class (optional 2 hour workshop session afterwards) that introduces you to the world of OpenSCAD. Instead of dragging and dropping shapes, you write scripts to build them.

OpenSCAD is a Free/Open Source Software  (FOSS) application used to create solid 3D CAD objects and 2D intersections suitable for laser cutting via a script-based approach rather than interactive visual modeling with a mouse.  For this course we’ll write code that defines geometric primitives and transformations, allowing us to create parametric designs and engineering-type parts.
