Ages 12 to adult.

The Electronics 101 class is your chance to learn the basics of electronic circuits from the pros. Even if you have no idea what a resistor is, or have never picked up a soldering iron before, you can do it all, with a just a little bit of help.

This class is perfect for absolute beginners. I have stripped it down to the bare essentials, making it perfect for young people or the technologically challenged! :)

This video stars Bre Pettis. Bre is NOT in Japan. He will not be at THS.

Stick around after Electronics 101 for a screening of Bre Pettis' (of NYCResistor/Makerbot - CupCake fame) pilot on the History channel, "History Hacker."

The show never got picked up by the Hitler (ahem History) channel, but it would have made a great show.

In the pilot, Bre explores the dynamic between Tesla and Edison.

Some hacks and projects included in the episode include:
Making a bicycle AC generator
Blowing glass bulbs
Exploring the Edison DC grid in New York
