We have a <a href="https://onesandzeros.ca/code-of-conduct/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code of Conduct</a> and <a href="https://onesandzeros.ca/social-rules/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Social Rules</a>.Please join Galen for an experiment! This workshop is:<ul><li>a history of the relay, an electronic component key to the development of the telegraph, telephone, and early computers</li><li>a hands-on electronics workshop teaching a technique called “dead bug” soldering</li><li>and, a critical and poetic conversation about high tech, rare earth, and invasive species. </li></ul>We’ll learn about the history of electromagnetic relays, and then misuse them to build electromagnetic crickets — small circuit-creatures that sing in the dark and are silent in the light. At the end of the evening, we’ll get speculative as a group, imagining and building the kind of environment that these creatures belong in.
