Missed out on our recent Arduino or soldering workshops? You’re in luck! In April, we’re running workshops as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. We have four different workshops in the Festival programme, each one running twice during the two-week Festival:


SUM-GetStartArduino_9615f4 Getting started with Arduino Arduino is an easy to use microcontroller platform designed for learning. This all day no experience required, introductory session for teenagers and adults will show you how to create your own electronically controlled projects from simple blinking lights to robots and music generators. All you need to bring is your laptop as all materials are provided, including your very own Arduino and kit to take home. Full-day, running on 5th and 8th of April.

SUM-SolderOn_a793b3 Solder On! Soldering is easy and we’ll show you how. Starting with the absolute basics, you’ll be shown the tools you need and how to make a solder joint, then you’ll be able to get stuck in! Including your very own kit to solder and take home, this is your chance to learn a vital hacking skill. Evening, running on 7th and 14th of April. More information and online booking…

SUM-ExtremeSoldering_d53447 Extreme Soldering: Surface Mount Components Surface mount soldering isn’t hard! It might look it because of the tiny components, but we’ll show you it’s really not that scary. Including your very own kit to build and take home, this session will show you the tricks and techniques to help you solder on. Evening, running on 9th and 16th of April. More information and online booking…

SUM-TakingArduinoToNextLevel_7bbca6 Taking Arduino to the Next Level If you’re an experienced Arduino user, bring your project and your laptop and let Edinburgh Hacklab help you take your programming to the next level. This all day session will cover a wealth of advanced Arduino topics: find out how to update a display without missing any button presses, learn how to make your project talk to advanced sensors and devices and discover ways to make your project permanent and avoid a rats’ nest of wires. Full-day, running on 12th and 15th of April. More information and online booking…
