SparkFun Heading to Maker Faire in New York
Join us for a new take on the famous SparkFun soldering booth!
SparkFun Electronics is excited to be heading out to the Big Apple this weekend to take part in the World Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science!
The event takes place Sept. 20th and 21st from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Sunday. If you’ve never been to a Maker Faire, this is a great one to go to, with tons to do and see!
For our part, we’re going to be running a soldering workshop - but this year, there’s a twist! Our friends at Atmel will be hosting us in their tent and attendees will be soldering the new PTH SparkFun Interactive Badges! Once soldered, these badges (designed by SparkFun Engineer Toni) become a trivia game. The participant can put the badges into three small Interactive stations which have electronics-based trivia questions on them. If the questions are answered correctly, the stations add points to the badges. Each point adds a new color to the LED on the top of the badge. Points add up to discounts at SparkFun.com!
We hope you can come see us, learn to solder (or sharpen your skills), and earn some sweet, sweet discounts with your electronics know-how. See you in New York!
