Circuit Basics Kits
Included in each kit is an instructional guide on the first projects that we covered in the class and contains extra parts and pieces for modifying your designs to fit your experimentation. This kit is also the first in a series that will cover many other interesting projects that you can accomplish at home, with no need for hot tools.

The Idaho Society of Radio Amateurs
Last Tuesday, we opened up the shop after hours to host a monthly meeting for the ISRA, a ham radio group based here in the Treasure Valley. They collected at the shop to hear a presentation on our efforts with open source hardware, our various resources, and the workshops and classes we hold here at the shop. The real insight I had while with this great bunch, is that they embodied the whole idea of modern open source and the process of using old equipment for making new things since tubes were state of the art. In a sense, they are pioneers for the progress of DIY today. They never lost the factor of DIY being a common sense way of life and a source for real innovation for them, an increasingly rare idea in a world full of new high technology that is more commonly thrown away in lieu of repair. After the meeting I felt extremely honored to have been able to present some projects and converse with them about what projects they took on when they were first getting started in their tinkerings and tech exploits.
