But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a [TV-B-Gone](https://www.tvbgone.com) remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you.","description":"This workshop will give you the confidence to start making just about any electronic project you see on the internet!  We cover all you need in this workshop.\r\n  \r\n**Workshop Itinerary:**   \r\n* Intro to Arduino  \r\n* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics  \r\n* Learn to solder (everyone can learn!)  \r\n* Make an Arduino from a kit  \r\n* How to set up the free and open-source Arduino software (Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine!)  \r\n* How to program Arduinos  \r\n* How to read schematic diagrams  \r\n* Put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board using a solderless breadboard  \r\n* Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop.\r\n\r\n**Materials cost:**  \r\nThe workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for **€40**.  \r\n  \r\n_**Optional:** Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it._\r\n_Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux (any version is fine):_  \r\n[Arduino software](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)","duration":180,"slot_count":1,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":false,"image":"http://program.why2025.org/media/why2025/submissions/KY88NS/A4TN_HiP2023_hzGhjL7.jpg","resources":[],"slots":[13212],"answers":[]}
