When: All day and all night -- Every day of 33C3
       Most projects take about 1.5 to 2 hours
       This ongoing workshop will be happening concurrently with lots of other way cool workshops at the Hardware Hacking Area!
Where: The Hardware Hacking Area in Saal 3/Hall 3
       (in the building's entrance level)
Who: You! All ages, all skill levels -- It is fun to make things in the
       friendly community of the Hardware Hacking Area.
       Come join us. Everyone is welcome.
Cost: Instruction is free! We ask that people pay only for the cost of
       the parts used -- kit prices range from €10 to €30.
           -- No need to register -- just come on by, any time!

Learn to solder! Mitch Altman and others will bring kits to make cool, practical, intriguing, hackable things that you can bring home after you make it. Of course, you can also bring your own projects to hack. And if you have anything to fix, bring it by!

Plenty of cool kits are available to make, including:

  • TV-B-Gone (turn off TVs in public places!)
  • Brain Machine (Meditate, Hallucinate, and Trip Out!)
  • LOL Shield (Lots Of LEDs!)
  • Trippy RGB Waves (interactive art blinky lights!)
  • LEDcube (low-res 3D animation!)
  • MiniPOV (write your message in the air!)
  • MintyBoost (charge your USB enabled gadgets!)
  • Hello My Name Is... badge (Geeky, blinky version of the sticker!)
  • microcontroller programmers (program all your AVR family chips!)
  • Arduino clones (make just about anything!)
  • ArduTouch Music Synthesizer (make cool noise and music with this Arduino-comaptible kit!)
  • And many more!
