I'd like to see a workshop on PCB creation. It seems to me that
would be the next logical step for me personally, now that I can
solder 0603 SMD :-) <br>

<strong>Description</strong><br>
This workshop is Sparkfun's very popular course that teaches
SMD soldering to anyone who thinks they can't possibly solder
those little pins. This will be a hands-on workshop where the
students learn techniques to help them solder surface mount
components. There is a minimum age requirement of 15 years
old, and it is highly recommended that you have a strong
background in soldering, as basic soldering skills will not be
covered. It is also highly recommended that you be comfortable
with soldering, although you don't need to be an expert.<br>
<br>
<strong>Prerequisites</strong><br>
Though Hole Soldering (Intro to Soldering) or equivalent
(which you can get any Monday night at Noisebridge's </font><a

target="_blank"><font size="4" color="#0068cf">Circuit Hacking
Monday</font></a><font size="4"> -- feel free to come to the
one tonight, starting at 7pm!). This SMD workshop also
requires participants have the physical dexterity to hold a
soldering iron (equivalent of a heavy pencil) and solder (thin
wire) steady with both hands and tweezers.<br>
