Try out this new class at Sector67 Saturday January 24th: Adding with Electricity

[Scott Hasse]

Hello Sector67 community!

Peter and I have developed a new Sector67 class to kick the tires on our new classroom space. The class is called "Adding with Electricity" and is happening 9:00am-1:00pm Saturday January 24th. There are eight slots and you register for a slot at:

If you've ever wanted to understand more about electricity, transistors, or digital electronics this class is a great starting point. We are charging $10 for this first session and expect the price to go up a bit for future sessions. Here's a brief class abstract:

Adding with Electricity is a 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.

Attendees should be comfortable with basic arithmetic and be ready to stay focused for a full four-hour session, with short breaks to recharge both brains and batteries.

The attached picture shows the type of hands-on work that happens during the class. We hope to see you on the 24th!

Very cool!  Jealous I’m not in town to participate.
