determine what level of kits you can build - this is to keep you from getting in
over your head! The left over projects will be offered again in the 'Anything Goes'

will take things part to see what makes them 'Tick' then use the parts to build
something new! It's amazing what you can do with a little electronics and mechanial
knowledge. Please bring stuff in need of a new home. Either fix and keep it or trade
someone else for what they brought or fixed!
The instructor will bring some stuff but
can't bring enough, so you need to help!
You may keep or re-trade anything you fix.
Please E-mail or call me at 214-521-1444 to donate things we can fix or use for parts.
