There are free software packages for laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs), and this activity offers a quick introduction to one such package. We will walk you through some simple design examples, and will submit designs of your choosing to a production house so you will get a set of small PCBs bearing your circuit layout. We presume you will be able to get to a PC on the web. If not we will help you work out alternative arrangements. You are welcome, but not required, to bring your laptop to this session. (Wireless available.)
