Smiller: /* How */

== What ==
This workshop is designed for people who do not know much about electronics but would like to learn how to solder. In this workshop, you will learn how to solder capacitors, resistors, and ICs onto a printed circuit board. You will learn how to solder and de-solder through hole components and (hopefully) have a functional multimeter when the event is done.

== When ==
* October 21 from 7:30pm to 9:00pm (to be continued on the following two Wednesdays November 4, November 11)

== Where ==
* Baltimore Node! 120 W North Ave, Baltimore, MD

== Who ==
*Organizing - Sepideh Miller

== How ==
*use eventbrite to limit # of participants to 8
*$65 for non-node members registered through eventbrite
*$40 for node members paid by check or paypal directly to the Node (Please let me know if you do this.)

== Preparation ==
* <del>nail down date</del>
* <del>register event with eventbrite</del> http://www.eventbrite.com/event/434646038
* blog about it
* flyers (Kelly made a nice one, now we need to post them)
* soldering irons (We have 6 cheap ones, may need to borrow some if all 10 people sign up.)
* 5 spools soldering wick
* soldering iron stands
* wire snippers
* some sponges (and access to water - or a container w/ water)
* first aid kit
