The class will be held from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM with a $5 materials cost – tickets are limited. Click Here to sign up at Eventbrite.
We are very excited to host Steve Hoefer for this workshop – a technologist, writer and contributor to both MAKE and CRAFT Magazines. He is also a teacher and currently traveling the Midwest teaching crafty and hacker skills at interested hackerspaces.
More on the class, from Steve:
My current class for this tour is edge-lighting signs and holiday decorations. (Like these: http://flic.kr/p/8Z6pBL ) It’s a simple project that anyone can do, but it looks great and has a bunch of uses from decorations to displays for electronics projects.
Participants will get the supplies and skills to make at least three edge-lit pieces, learn how and why it works, and the basics of working with LEDs. You need practically no prior experience with electronics and the class will last about 1 hour.
The class will cost $5 for materials, and if you can spare it, a recommended donation of $5 to i3Detroit. See you there!
