Cricut Office Hours and Cricut Maker Tool Training
We’re trying something new with Office Hours at MAKE Roanoke! Designed to offer help using a specific tool or craft, Office Hours are open to the public to get hands-on assistance with your next project. Our first set of Office Hours will be for the Cricut on Tuesday, May 20 from 6-8 PM. We’ll have several Cricuts available to cut out vinyl, fabric, leather, cardstock, and very thin balsa wood and people who can help bring your project to life. Members can also come to get trained on our Cricut Maker so they can use it whenever they want!

Applied Electronics: Make an Open Source Hardware Mixer (deej) Class
Come MAKE your very own open-source hardware mixer at this class hosted by MAKE Roanoke! Using hands-on soldering and microprocessor programming and flashing, students will build a physical mixer, which can be plugged into a computer to seamlessly control the volumes of different apps. We recommend students have experience with basic soldering or some programming experience. Students must bring a laptop (ideally Windows or Linux, but we can work with Mac).
