Saturday, July 16th at 6pm, we’ll be having our first ever workshop on solar energy. Each participant will receive a kit comprised of recycled and surplus components that can be reused in many combinations in order to make several different projects, like a night light that glows like a firefly, or a solar charger for small circuits, wearables like jewelry that have that extra geek chic, a small buglike robot, or even a solar powered fan to cool you down in the hot summer weather. Truthfully there is an inexhaustible resource every day that we can use to fuel our creativity, ingenuity and education, and we fully intend to empower our community to utilize solar energy to make new things and maybe even power old things in new ways. We hope to see you there!
This listing is not only available to locals in our immediate vicinity (you know who you are) but to any and all who would like to tinker to their hearts content with the power of the sun. Feel free to contact us about our resources for information concerning the projects to be built with this kit at the workshop.
