Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my idea for starting an Electronics Workshop where people of all ages can come together to build circuits, ranging from basic to more advanced projects like DIY computers. Participants would pay for one-hour sessions, with discounts available for booking multiple sessions in advance. I'll provide all the necessary kits, tools, and guidance to help everyone enjoy the experience.
I'd like to also have robotics and 3D printing opportunities for those who want to create their own projects but might not want to invest in a 3D printer. My vision is to create a welcoming environment for parents and kids, as well as older hobbyists, to gather and have fun while learning.
My main questions for you are: Would you attend a workshop like this? How much would you be willing to pay for a session in terms of Big Macs (for fun, think of it as a currency)? Overall, what are your thoughts? Is this something you'd want to see in your area? Thanks a lot!

I think this is a great idea! It sounds like you're creating a maker space that also offers lessons. It might be challenging at times to help multiple people with different needs, but those situations can lead to group learning opportunities. As for pricing, it really depends on whether you're treating this as a full-time venture or more of a side project; if it's full-time, you'll need to ensure it's sustainable financially.
I love your concept! There's definitely a gap for something like this, especially since there aren't many hacker or maker spaces around. Focusing on lower-level electronics and providing hands-on guidance would be fantastic. Just make sure to prepare structured lessons to manage different project complexities. Maybe consider hosting specific sessions for more advanced projects; that could help you better assist everyone.
