For our open night 2 weeks from now, we'll be taking a field trip to the local KOPN radio station! KOPN has graciously offered to give us a tour of their radio station facility, including some of their very cool equipment and studios. If you'd like to participate, please join our discord sever (link on our website) and check the annoucements page. You can meet us at the KOPN station at 6:30 (at 401 Bernadette Drive), or carpool from the CGW shop between 6PM and 6:15.

Just a reminder that the CGW soldering class will be March 26th at 6pm. We'll be going over hand soldering and reflow/SMD soldering techniques with free giveaways! Also, CGW is planning to have a booth at Art in the Park (June 6 and 7). If you're interested in showcasing projects for CGW or hanging out at the booth, please get in touch!
