EMF Explorer Badge Soldering Workshop
Home: Oregon, United States
Get ready to solder your own circuit board art piece that will grant you the powers to listen to the electromagnetic frequencies around you! The world is full of hidden electromagnetic frequencies, and so much can be learned by listening to their sounds! Explore the hidden sounds produced by electronics, learn what different functions sound like, and walk away with a completed circuit board that can be worn on a lanyard for extra bling. Accessible to anyone who can safely use a soldering iron, with adult supervision where necessary.

I love teaching workshops, and wanted to make a wearable badge that would be perfect for curious makers hanging out at various tech/maker events that anyone could engage with. I've taught this workshop at a handful of summits/events/festivals/universities and its been met with great success. I love seeing how excited students are when they hear EMF signals for the first time!
