Mostly covered up by pretty cases, virtually all of today’s technology depends on some kind of electric circuitry.
In our soldering workshop we decrease the distance between the participant and the circuit. You will solder the components – including an LED, battery, switch and resistors and bring life to the board.

Workshop fee + electronic components: 150 HKD.

 

Date / Time : Tuesday, August 21, 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM

During this week’s Hackjam, we’ll have a brief overview and discussion about the recent “foreshadow” intel CPU vulnerability – what is it, how’s it being exploited and how can you protect yourself.

Attendance is free, donations appreciated.

Join us, bring any old broken electronics, and train your creativity and skills.

After our Take-apart event in July, have more fun and turn components into something else.

We will propose some ideas but also invite everyone to challenge what has already been done.

The DSL team’s skills and tools will be there to help in the process.

Aim

This workshop is for people with basic knowledge of Arduino or does have attended our Introduction to Arduino previously.

You will continue your adventures with Arduino. If you have joined one of our hands-on introduction workshops and want to dig a bit deeper into using libraries and writing Arduino code, this workshop will show you how to use an LCD screen, a temperature and humidity sensor, and general coding tips.

Note: if you haven’t taken our Arduino intro workshop but you are…

Having some success during the Hong Kong Maker Faire 2018, we are renewing this workshop at Dim Sum Labs space in Sheung Wan.

Use some very basic electronics knowledge and skills to create your very own light-up earrings, pendant or brooch using LEDs. Use (or learn on-the-spot) some basic soldering skills to create a bright, fun accessory.

You could do this a follow on to our simple LED earrings workshop to a create matching set.

Aim of the workshop

• The first aim is to introduce to you the use of the software Inkscape, a free open-source software, available for all platforms (Linux, Mac and Windows). The software is similar in use and functionality to other may be more well known software such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator.
• The second is to let you preview what can be done with some hard wood and a laser cutter … making the previously hard sheet of wood bendable.

In this workshop we will go for the simple or…

Most of us have some unwanted electronics cluttering our small Hong Kong apartments,

Let us help out!

Bring them to Dim Sum Labs and take them apart! Your electronic trash will provide hours of fun as we dig our way into the guts of machines together to see what’s inside and learn how they worked.

Bring in your old, broken, and/or unused electronics such as:

• computer towers,
