A close cousin to locks are security seals and defeating them can be just as much fun as lock picking. If you need to detect if something has been tampered with in your absence then you want to understand what makes some seals better than others. We’ll cover many types of seals along with their pros and cons. We’ll also get into ink technology, chemistry, and how this relates to counterfeit product detection among other areas. Virtual workshop includes a seal practice kit delivered ahead of time.

Part project class, part safety/skills training—this class orients you to the several fabrication tools Bloominglabs has to offer, as well as MIG welding techniques—culminating in a handmade metal stand. If you have ever wanted to learn about the metal shop, this class offers a realistic look at cutting, forming, welding, and finishing steel. Participants will learn the safety protocols, setup, and usage of several cutting tools to cut and form steel stock. They will practice setting up precise cuts, and then work to set these parts up in a way to accurately weld them together. Welding technique, safety, and finishing are offered in the 2nd half of this 4.5 hour class. Participants MUST come to class prepared with long sleeve shirts, long pants (NOT synthetic; wear denim, cotton, wool, or leather), a stocking cap or head covering, and leather closed-toed boots. Additionally, due to COVID-19, participants are expected to bring their own PPE which includes safety glasses, leather gloves, hearing protection, and wear a face mask but Bloominglabs does have some to borrow and isopropyl for cleaning.

Come explore our woodshop and learn woodshop safety, how to work from a design, the basics of working with wood, how to use tools (table saw, band saw, drill press, radial arm saw, and hand drills), and how to finish a project with sanding and sealant. This workshop is structured around using all the big-project tools in our woodshop while creating workbenches for Bloominglabs. You'll develop a familiarity with the woodshop tools, learn how to build a sturdy workbench, and at the end get a plaque to affix to the table you helped build!

Learn soldering on a kit for an led die, and bring a project of your own to work on after!
+
The iconic Arduino is not just hardware, it’s also a software platform you can use to program a wide variety of microcontrollers to do anything from controlling lights to building robots to IoT (Internet of Things) applications in a very accessible, quick-start way. Arduino can be used to prototype a product idea, create art, or as a fun creative hobby.
 
+
In this workshop we’ll dive right in and get you programming an Arduino to sense the world around it and interact with the world via lights and motors. You’ll be taught helpful tips to avoid traps beginners can fall into, and we’ll guide you to the best resources for next steps.
 +
Laptops and hardware provided. If you want to bring your laptop, install the free Arduino software before the workshop: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software. You can bring an Arduino if you have one, but note we’ll be working with the standard Arduino Uno in this workshop.

==== Prerequisites ====
+
Are you interested in networks, business programs, or management software? For job skills, to try it out, to prepare for your side hustle? Come play with our systems! As a hackerspace Bloominglabs runs on volunteers, but we have curious people who what to help others and learn more. Our whole space is a do-ocracy and playground - and that includes our website, network, and management programs. Some days might have a set goal or topic, but this is a casual learn-together study group.  
* A willingness to learn
+
* A very basic understanding of police scanners and P25 trunking
+
* While not required, some experience with the linux operating system, or even the command line on Windows, will be helpful
+
* '''Please have all of the required equipment on-hand, or at least ordered, prior to signing up for the workshop (see list below). If ordering equipment, be sure to account for possible shipping delays so that you have everything before the first day of class.'''
+
  
==== Required Equipment ====
+
While the people who come will have a strong say in what we work on or can come with specific things they want to try, and we can be playing with different things, this group has been brought about to try and unify a few Bloominglabs systems so to start off this group here are the first few topics to get us started:
A P25 digital scanner is somewhat complex, and in order to successfully build one certain equipment will be required. Some of it is expensive. Just remember that the end result will be a system that is in some ways more capable than off-the-shelf scanners, and at a fraction of the cost of a new P25 scanner.
+
* Design Parameters: Look at what we currently use and brain storming our needs and wants, ranking them, and creating our ideal system map.
 +
* List possible programs/solutions
 +
* Divide the options out and test what parameters each program meets or does not meet
  
'''This is a "Bring Your Own Equipment" workshop. Bloominglabs is not supplying equipment/materials/kits this time. You are responsible for your own equipment. Bloominglabs is supplying the instruction to assemble and configure your own equipment.

----
If you use that link to place an order on Amazon, we get a little cut. Thanks!
+
 
+
===== Raspberry Pi 4 =====
+
* 1 Raspberry Pi Model 4 (1 GB memory is fine; more won't help much). A Raspberry Pi Model 3B+ is the absolute minimum, but you will get better performance with a 4 and that's what we are recommending.
+
* 1 Power supply for Raspberry Pi 4 (USB-C connector, or a microUSB connector if using a Pi 3B+). Needs to provide at least 2.5 A.
+
* 1 microSD card. Must be 8 GB or greater capacity, and Class 10 or better. Please bring a USB adapter to connect the microSD card to a PC if you have one; we'll have a couple extras if you don't own one, so this is not 100% required.
+
 
+
=====  RTL-SDRs with antenna(s) =====
+
* 3 RTL-SDR dongles (with TCXOs). Can you make it work with just two? Probably, but you'll be missing some radio traffic. Don't skip the TCXO (Temperature Controlled Crystal Oscillator). Recommended models include:
+
** RTL-SDR.com v3
+
** Nooelec NESDR Smart v4
+
* 3 antennas for RTL-SDRs. Or 1 antenna and a splitter feeding each SDR. Note that you don't need a fancy antenna to receive the tower site from Bloominglabs. If your RTL-SDR came with an antenna, that should be sufficient to get started.
+
* Any cabling needed for your antennas. Note: most RTL-SDRs use SMA antenna connectors.
+
 
+
===== Miscellaneous Equipment =====
+
* 3 USB-A extension cables. We suggest these cables be short, as in about 6 inches long, to keep the cables manageable. Longer is okay though if that's what you have already. The RTL-SDR's won't all plug in to the Pi without some sort of extension cables, as the form factor is too large.
+
* Headphones or earbuds for laptop (optional, but highly recommended)
+
 
+
===== Laptop =====
+
You will need a laptop in order to configure the Pi. Bloominglabs will provide laptops for the workshop, or you may bring your own. If bringing your own, try to have the following:
+
* An SSH client, such at Putty or openssh
+
* WiFi
+
* A free USB-A port (or a way to adapt to one from USB-C)
+
 
+

Arduinoworkshop.png

The iconic Arduino is not just hardware, it’s also a software platform you can use to program a wide variety of microcontrollers to do anything from controlling lights to building robots to IoT (Internet of Things) applications in a very accessible, quick-start way. Arduino can be used to prototype a product idea, create art, or as a fun creative hobby. In this workshop we’ll dive right in and get you programming an Arduino to sense the world around it and interact with the world via lights and motors. You’ll be taught helpful tips to avoid traps beginners can fall into, and we’ll guide you to the best resources for next steps. Laptops and hardware provided. If you want to bring your laptop, install the free Arduino software before the workshop: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software. You can bring an Arduino if you have one, but note we’ll be working with the standard Arduino Uno in this workshop.
