Dragtronics: Bubblemania

Dragtronics: Bubblemania - learn how to take apart bubble guns to make ANYTHING blow bubbles! This workshop will introduce the basics of circuits, soldering, and how to begin taking apart electronic toys to use the interesting parts. All supplies will be provided, and attendees will leave with their own bubble-blowing object. While the dragtronics series is designed with nightlife performers and applications in mind, you don't have to be a performer to enjoy this workshop -all are welcome!

This class is for all levels and geared towards beginners in circuit hacking and electronics. We'll cover the basics of circuits and soldiering in this project!
