Our friends over at SparkFun are doing a national tour, and we were the first Michigan location to sign up to host them! Â We want to help kids in the Detroit metro area learn about technology and especially electronics, so this is a great opportunity. Â Our class will be held on Saturday, 17 August 2013. Â Here’s a description from the SF site:
“The SparkFun National Tour has one goal – to share our passion for electronics with students and teachers across the country. Â We want to … [teach] lifelong skills such as programming, soldering, and building circuits along the way.
“During our tour, we will teach workshops to students of all ages as well as teachers, librarians, after-school coordinators, and other educators, showing how electronics can be a vital part of education. Whether youâve never played around with DIY electronics or you are a seasoned pro, we will give you the tools, knowledge, and skills you need to explore the wonderful world of how electronics fits with STEAM.”
We’ve signed up for the day-long class using the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit. Â This class works best for high school and precocious middle school students. Â We can host 20 students, each working with a complete kit. Â The cost is $100 per student for the day-long class, which includes taking your kit home with you at the end of the day (but not the laptop you’ll be using with it). Â If you want to bring a friend or parent who will work with the same kit, add $25.
Please send reservation requests to sparkfuntour@i3detroit.com In order to ensure that we make best use of available kits and space,  we ask that prospective students pre-pay by cash or check by August 10th to reserve their spot.
Itâs not scary, itâs not difficult, and it doesnât take years to learn. I think I can prove that to you though this crash course on computer programming. Itâs not going to get you a job at Google, but it will let you figure out which words are used most frequently in the book âAlice in Wonderlandâ, or generate a list of anagrams for your friendâs names! Isnât technology amazing?
With i3 Detroit moved to our brand new location and some build out completed, it’s time to start offering our world famous classes.Â
So we are bringing back our most popular class of all time, Intro to Lock Picking. Come join globe trotting security specialist Eric Michaud for a night of learning and fun.
The class will start with a hands-on lesson with the master. Sets of lock picks will be available for purchase but it’s first come first serve. You can also buy sets online or at a local spy shop (Southfield, MI). We also ask that everyone bring a standard key opening master lock or similar.Â
Following the class, we will have a speed tournament for both our experienced pickers and our newly trained amateurs. Prizes will be awarded. Â
Hope you can make it out. Please reserve your seat today.   Eventbrite Link
