Eyebeam’s running a fun workshop, build your own personal powerplant:

In this workshop led by Eyebeam alums fluxxlab with collaborator Farrukh Zia participants will assemble and take home their own Personal powerPlant. The Personal powerPlant is a portable device that harnesses electricity through a hand crank generator (with solar cell option) into a rechargeable battery for use in powering portable electronic devices through a USB terminal. The workshop will begin with an introduction to circuit basics and a group discussion on sustainable energy harvesting. Personal powerPlant DIY kits will be available for purchase during the workshop. The first version of the kit (v1) can be seen on the Instructables website – http://www.instructables.com/id/personal-powerPlant/.

This workshop is for: Anyone curious, teen-adult; or pre-teens with adult collaborators. Previous experience with soldering is helpful, but not essential.
