The meetings will now start at 11AM and have a 3 hour session where members can work on their own project that they brought with them. GHAMAS equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering irons, etc. will be available, if they need them. There will also be other CRS members there to help out with advice and sympathy. People can also work on various other projects involving equipment already at GHAMAS such as speech synthesizers, LCD displays and stepper motors. At 2PM, we will stop working on projects and begin the more traditional part of our meeting which will include members explaining what they accomplished during the work session and what problems they are still having. We will still have the "equipment give-aways" and the chance for everyone to share their thoughts. Note to Parents: The goal of the project work session is to enable people to work on their own projects. While the CRS is still a completely open organization with no membership restrictions as to age or ability, if your child is not capable of independent, unsupervised work then it might be best for them to come from 2PM to 4PM to see what others have done and what they will be able to do once they have achieved the necessary knowledge and skills.
