Workshops & Projects

We've run workshops on Docker, CUDA, KiCAD, soldering, Linux troubleshooting, and even prime numbers. We love some good hands-on learning.

WS-01

Hands-On Workshops

Each workshop focuses on a real tool or technique. Past workshops include Docker, CUDA, KiCAD, soldering, and hardware troubleshooting.

WS-02

Interactive Demos

Workshops put a heavy emphasis on live demonstrations and following along — because we believe that's the best way to learn something complex.

PROJ-01

This Term's Project

We're building a DIY version of the Meta smart glasses using a Raspberry Pi Zero — a wearable camera and compute device made from scratch.
