We had a great time chatting with Elecia about everything from how she learned embedded programming to different products she's worked on to writing books to teaching classes to her interest in origami to all sorts of other stuff too!  We did some show and tell and we also did some crafting with paper circuits!

Solder Sesh #59 - JP Wenger aka "Balloon Man" & Hot Air Society

JP is a friend of ours who graciously allowed us to crash his black tent at LA Maker Faire a few weeks ago, and he's a fellow LEDaholic! Over the past year, he dove deep into making 3D printed fiber optic LED-lit hot air balloons, and we put together a tiny balloon kit he's developed live, and hear all about his path into STEM and maker journey!

Solder Sesh #58 - Ben Hencke / Electromage of PixelBlaze

We were super excited to welcome Ben to the stream!  We add LEDs and a PixelBlaze to a sign and show you how to use the awesome LED microcontroller platform to light up your own projects!  And we dig into PixelBlaze history, show off some NEW NEW NEW features, and hear all about Ben's journey to LED wizardry.
