Hello. My name is Jeff. I am with the Circuit-Bending Hackerspace Rock Band, CMKT 4, makers of Creme DeMentia Bottlecap Contact Microphones (http://www.getlofi.com/?page_id=1472). Since our first trip to the Maker Faire in 2010, we have taught workshops at over 40 hackerspaces across the country. Our goal was to provide a DIY electronics workshop that would appeal to people of all skill levels and interests. In our travels, we discovered that our Contact Microphone workshops are a great way for hackerspaces to attract new membership, as well as provide an entertaining project for existing members.
We are contacting you because your hackerspace is one of the few remaining hackerspaces that we have not yet been to. We would like to teach our Contact Microphone Workshop at SYN Shop.
We will be passing through Las Vegas on May 12th, 2012 as part of our "West Coast Hackerspace Tour 2012" on our way to the Bay Area Maker Faire. Generally we like to start Saturday
workshops at 2pm. We charge $15 per attendee, which covers the cost of the kit and fully illustrated comic instructions. Workshop attendees will learn how to solder/improve existing soldering skills, work with recycled materials, and develop a basic understanding of piezoelectricity. The process we use involves a 45 minute dry-time, during which we will entertain the workshop attendees with a live performance. Additional kits and microphones will be available for purchase, as well.
Please get in touch with us as soon as possible, and let us know if this is something that would interest you.
