“Get ready to fire up your soldering iron and dive into the world of electronics! This hands-on workshop starts with the absolute basics—like what soldering is and how to do it safely (without any accidental burns!). From there, you’ll level up, learning how to solder cables, attach components to through-hole PCBs, and, best of all, create your very own project to take home! With plenty of practice time, you’ll leave feeling confident, skilled, and ready to tackle your next soldering adventure!” 🙂

A high-fidelity cyberpunk-themed portrayal of a hacker in a basement with a springtime theme. The hacker sits in the center of a dimly lit underground hideout, surrounded by glowing monitors and holographic displays emitting vibrant neon lights in shades of blue, purple, and green. The basement, though dark and filled with exposed pipes, wires, and old concrete walls, is being overtaken by spring growth. Cherry blossoms float through a cracked window, vines wrap around equipment and cables, and patches of grass and flowers sprout from the damp floor. The contrast between nature reclaiming the space and the neon-lit technology creates a unique fusion of cyberpunk and spring aesthetics. The monitors display detailed hacking interfaces, streams of code, and schematics, adding an intense, futuristic atmosphere.
