Rogue Making was founded at the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose on March 16th 2013. Tenaya Hurst, a lab instructor at the Tech, discovered Arduino and Wearable Technology and the world will never be the same again. Tenaya has taught for the Tech Museum, the Tech Summer Camps, and now works full time with Linino.org
Tenaya offers materials and workshops for 1) Wearable Tech, 2) Soldering, 3) Programming or 4) a Young Maker Workshop.. Please contact her for scheduling and view her public online calendar at http://www.localendar.com/public/RogueMaking
Rogue Making provides workshops anywhere there is space to make. Students may be of any age. Sewing experience is great, but Tenaya is happy to teach first time sewers the difference between sewing with regular thread and conductive thread. Age 7+ with parent or middle school and above is encouraged for soldering. Tenaya has never had a burn in one of her classes and we want to keep it that way. Come sew with Lilypad or solder Bliplace, a fun project where LEDs react to sound through a tiny microphone and an ATtiny chip.
A variety of kits are available for purchase and each participant must use one kit or share with a partner if necessary (but everyone will want to make & keep their own!)
-------------------------------------
Students are encouraged to bring their own laptop and work in pairs for microcontroller programming workshops. Tenaya provides kits with a microcontroller, USB cable, breadboard, jumper wires, and all components used in the workshop. Kit items are also available for purchase.

Students age 7+ with parent or middle school and above is encouraged for soldering workshops. Tenaya has provides materials to practice soldering and then when each student feels ready, they can begin the Bliplace project. It's a fun circuit where LEDs react to sound through a tiny microphone and an ATtiny chip. The circuit is ready to go, we just assemble it with Tenaya's easy to follow instructions.
Each participant needs their own Bliplace soldering kit, irons and other materials are provided. Pre-soldered Bliplaces are available if you want to make one and buy extra.
-------------------------------------
Students can be at any level of understanding electricity, and Tenaya loves to teach young makers, Age 5+. Tenaya makes engineering fun and easy with hands on learning and activities that allow for creative expression. Kit items are also available for purchase.
Mission: Rogue Making has one mission - to bring Making to you! We will make wherever there is enough space to do so. Making is a tradition as old as our cave people relatives. Don't let them down, be a part of the Maker Movement today.
Rogue Making is powered by Tenaya Hurst. Wearable Tech classes, public or private, and Tenaya is a distributor for open source hardware.
