In PIC programming and in life, it's convenient to know C. You can take care of this in one session with the Caffinated Crash Course in C. Or if you'd rather take it slower, there is the ordinary Crash Course in C, and another section.

For serious projects, it is great to have access to a machine shop. IAP is a great time to learn the basics of machining and get cleared for access to one of the many MIT machine shops. The Edgerton Center Shop has an Introduction to Machine Tools seminar. The Hobby Shop has an evening class.
