>Join the LightHouse For Its First-Ever Blind Soldering Workshop in 
>November
>
>
>
>
>
>The LightHouse is holding its first-ever soldering workshop for people 
>who are blind or have low vision.
>
>Soldering is an essential skill for prototyping and building 
>electronics. While many blind people can solder with skill and safety, 
>working with delicate components and high-temperature molten solder can 
>be daunting for beginners.
>
>Who: Adults 18 and up who are blind or have low vision.
>When: Friday, November 4 through Sunday, November 6, 2016.
>Attendees are welcome to check-in as early as
>3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 4. The program begins at 5:00 p.m. that 
>day and lasts through noon on Sunday, November 6.
>Where: the LightHouse Building, 1155 Market St., 10th floor, San 
>Francisco, 94103.
>Cost: $300 which includes overnight
>accommodations in our new Student Residences and material fees.
>Deadline to apply is Friday, October 28. Payment secures your spot.
>
>During this weekend-long workshop, attendees will be offered a unique 
>opportunity to learn non-visual soldering techniques from some of the 
>most skilled and experienced blind solderers in the world. In addition 
>to gaining hands-on experience with a soldering iron, students will 
>finish the workshop with an understanding of the metallurgy behind the 
>use of flux and solder, as well as a strong foundation in the practical 
>aspects of electronics soldering.
>
>Students will be guided in building their own accessible continuity 
>tester – one of the most fundamental and flexible tools for 
>electronicss work without vision. Workshop tuition includes the basic 
>tools needed for soldering, with the continuity tester, soldering 
>station, and other tools yours to keep at the conclusion of the 
>workshop.
>
>This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Joshua Miele, Associate 
>Director of the Smith-Kettlewell Rehabilitation Engineering Research 
>Center on Low Vision and Blindness, Creative Director of LightHouse 
>Labs, and founder of the Blind Arduino Project. Our team of 
>highly-qualified soldering instructors all have decades of experience 
>building electronics and teaching non-visual soldering techniques to 
>students with a broad range of experience.
>
