<P>These classes fill up, reserve your spot now!</P>
<P>Harness the power of an Eplilog 35 Watt Laser! In this class you'll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.</P>

<P>In this three hour class, we'll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the "go" button on the laser. We'll cover safety and basic design skills in Inkscape and you'll learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you'll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something more ambitious.  (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)</P>

<P>After learning the basics, each student will create their own design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest [midwestproducts.com] and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 12" x 24" so buy materials accordingly.</P>

<P>Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project. We use Inkscape because it saves .svg files natively and is open source. Inkscape is available at inkscape.org</P>
<P>This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Lunar Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Night [see calendar for times].</P>
<P>This class is taught by Olivia Barr.</P>
<P>All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up.  Sorry, minors.</P>

<P>Learn the basics of physical computing. Use the Arduino to connect to the outside world and interact with it.</P>
<P>We will learn how to use the Arduino IDE. Once confortable with some example programs, we will start making our own! </P>
<UL>
<LI>We will provide kits during the class that include the Arduino and needed electronics.</LI>
<LI>The kits will be available for purchase if you want to take them home and keep working!</LI>
</UL>
<P><BR>Please be ready to start at 10am!  We find that you will need this time to get through the whole class. We will have a break at 12:00pm for lunch. Feel free to bring your own food, or you can order something for delivery.</P>
<P>Our classes tend to sell out so if you're interested, you may want to sign up early.Please bring a laptop with the Arduino environment and FTDI drivers preinstalled on it.  It's available at <A HREF="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software" REL="nofollow">http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software</A>.</P>

<P>Study group for total EE noobs, using OpenCourseWare. Let's build a strong foundational understanding of board design, communication protocols, sensors and systems, so we can move on from basic hardware hacking / arduino coding. We will meet every sunday evening to go over the course assignments and help each other learn how to harness the power of electrons!</P>
