SURPRISE.

Vince was kind enough to hold the planning meeting at a different time.

Sooo we can have a Build night this Tuesday.  This will be a soldering night.



And the question is "Tom do you need anything?"



I know Steve was going to bring 8 pin sockets and I am bringing a glue gun.  Vince can you bring extra soldering irons incase someone needs to borrow one?



Bring a case for the project if you want.

The morning started off a little cool and breezy. The crowd of kids and adults were having fun launching rockets. By the afternoon the crowd had thinned some.

This is our first night building the project from Make Magazine #20 (Nov. 2009), the Lunchbox Laser Shows starting on page 110.

For our Maker's Night Out on Sept. 14, we worked on wiring an audio amplifier onto a breadboard. We had a wide range of age groups at this session for a truly family oriented evening.

The schematic we used for our amplifiers required just a few components. A resistor, potentiometer, two capacitors, and an operational amplifier integrated circuit chip.

Last Tuesday we chose this fun and easy project, it's found in Make Magazine #12 on page 131, titled "Styrofoam Plate Speaker".

We had a good crowd of about 12 people including some new visitors who learned about us from the recent KC Mini Maker Faire.
