It was a reminder of how much I enjoy teaching. We had 17 students sign up, ranging from ages 12 to over 50. We walked everyone through Eagle setup, schematic import, board layout, CAM jobs, creating parts in a library, ordering from a Fab house, and then even jumped in to some general tips and tricks we've come across over the years.<p>It is wonderful to see the students realize, "Hey, this eagle software isn't so hard. I'm actually having fun designing circuit boards!"</p><p>It was also awesome to hear about everyone's personal projects. Taking your idea to the next level and laying out a custom PCB is a very exciting step. I remember ordering my very first design. It felt like Christmas! And so I am very pumped to know that the students from this weekend are gonna go experience that same joy - and hopefully avoid many of the mistakes I made :)</p><p>I would love to take our Eagle class on the road and help hundreds of makers design their dream PCBs. Speaking as part of the SparkFun team, we are truly passionate about teaching all aspects of electronics, and we would really appreciate your support to make this tour a reality. Thanks!</p></p>
