[MakeLV] Fwd: Preliminary schedule for Hackers on a Train Workshop Tour 2012

Fri Jun 22 07:19:13 CDT 2012

For clarification, the Arduino course includes a $35 charge for the
BoArduino kit and some raising funds.

It will run 6:30-9:30pm like most open hacks. We'll be doing setup 1hr
ahead of that.
