Reminder: Virtual meeting, October 15th, 2020!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a virtual wlug meeting on Thursday October 15th, 2020! Time: 7pm Date: Oct 15th, 2020 Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: As usual TBD. I will show off my CNC machine and where I'm at with it, but besides that, I expect the usual level of banter. Hope to see some familiar faces and new ones as well! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I think I can add in more snap circuits to this giveaway too! No manuals, not sure how much I have left, but I'd be happy to have it find a good home since my kids aren't interested at all.

If you really want your kids to "geek out" try looking here, here and here.

Try #2! Next WLUG Meeting is Oct. 15th!!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, let's try this again! I have a conflict on the 8th and the second week of October snuck up on me. We will be having the meeting *October 15th, 2020!* Sorry for any confusion the last confusing email created! Thanks, TIm. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next WLUG Meeting! Oct 15th NOT the 8th.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, I've decided to push the meeting off to the 8th. This is mainly because the second week of October snuck up on me and because I have conflict that night. Hopefully by then I'll have a little project I've been working on ready to show off. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Did no one bite? The closest I've got to a sudtable kid is a soon-to-be 4 year old niece. If no one else is interested, I'll be passing by Worcester next weekend. - Drew On Mon, Oct 5, 2020 at 12:03 PM Joel via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > Hi WLUG, > > I have a free item someone's favorite electronics interested kid may love. > > Elenco Snap Circuits 300 in 1 Electronics Kit. > > Have the 300 projects kit plus an expansion kit for another 100+ projects. > > I believe all the parts and manuals are there, but no guarantees. > > As a ham radio geek, I will genuinely miss my son building a working AM radio receiver on his own on a random rainy Saturday. > > Think electronics building kit, with no wires to connect and with language-free Lego type instructions. > > My guess at age range is 6 years old (for simpler builds) to about 13 years old. > Kids older than 13 may love it, but are more likely to live with a death-grip on their modern data phone device. > > If more than one person happens to be interested, I will do a random.org drawing to pick a winner later this week. > > Joel > > Here is what Amazon lists for a description of the 300 project kit: > https://www.amazon.com/Snap-Circuits-SC-300-Electronics-Exploration/dp/B000… > > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/TD5GU…

Hi, Actually, I retract my interest. Went to look at what we do have and the kit you have would be redundant. Thanks for offering it. I'm sure it will find a good home.

Hi, my daughter, now 15, has a few smaller snap circuits kits. She's a math fan and is learning python on her own from the python for kids book. She'd love it.
