Electronic “Build-It” Workshop

Once again, we’re running our electronic “Build-It” workshop in TOG on Saturday 15th December from 16:00 – 18:30. Many visitors to TOG tell us that they would like to get started with electronics, soldering or assembly, but they are unsure how to do so. This workshop will help. You get to build (and keep) an electronic kit. The kit that we have chosen is a line-follower robot car. It will follow a black line or any line where there is reasonable contrast. You can see a video of the kit in action, from our previous workshop here.

 

The kit comes as a complete set of mechanical and electronic parts including a bare circuit board. You do all the electronic assembly and soldering as well as the mechanical assembly. If you’ve never built an electronics kit or soldered before, then this workshop is ideal for you. We’ll show you everything that you need to know. No previous experience at electronics, soldering or kit assembly is needed. We’ll explain the circuit and how it works too. All tools and equipment are provided. The workshop will take up to 3 hours, which is plenty of time. All proceeds from this event go to support TOG. We have 10 places available.

 

Sign up for tickets on eventbrite.  The workshop costs €25 plus booking fee.

 

You might like to stick around afterwards for our regular Open Social evening which is happening on the same day.

 

 

*** You must be 18 years of age or older to take part in this workshop. Please do not book places for children ***

Culture Night Update

We had a great night for Culture Night last night. Loads of visitors. The first of them arrived on the dot at 5PM, and we still had visitors in the space at 11PM. We had lots of members on hand to give tours of the space and demonstrate some of our activities.

Thanks to everyone who came. If you liked what you saw and would like to see more, keep in touch with us. We have regular open evenings and weekends for visitors, and almost everything is free to attend. For example, we have Electronics, Coding, Crafting, Lock Picking and Wikipedia editing evenings, as well as our regular monthly Open Social and Sci-Fi book club.

We have our own website and mailing list with details of all our events. We also have a number of social media channels. Keep in touch with us. Hope to see you again soon.

Check out some photos from the night on our gallery.

On Sunday 22nd July, from 14:00-18:00, we’ll be holding a BBQ in the space as a bit of a wind-down following Dublin Maker 2018.

Maker is always a hectic day, but great fun too. It’s great for us to have a lazy, wind-down afternoon in the space. Drop in and say hello. We’ll have some food and drinks on the go, and a bit of banter too. Hope to see you there. We’ll be sure to give you a tour of the space if you’ve never been in to see us before.
