Now that DC 22 and HHV #7 is over we need feed back.
This year we had a circuit bending hands-on workshop, a wtfpga hands on workshop and a Intel minnow board presentation and hands on demo.
I know there was a shortage of kits as no vendors were selling any. This year we chose not to sell due to a electronic badge so its up in the air for next year if I will have a vendor table as I have to see what the costs are as it all comes out of my pocket.
I know space was tight at times but we utilized 110% of our space and had 24 soldering stations running all weekend. Next year I think that will be resolved. (fingers crossed for the return of the HHV in a dedicated space)
So please visit our blog http://www.dchhv.org/blog/ and give us feed back or you can do it here but next year we are looking to move beyond "intro to soldering" and have some contest ideas as well as dedicated workshops.
So let me know what you liked or hated about the HHV so we can continue to improve and serve you, the DC attendees better.
My personal highlight was the very young kids learning how to build kits. New record set a 5 year old girl completed a Larsen scanner and had a blast! A total of 26 kits were given out to kids and a additional 12 were given to adults with a great story on why they deserved a kit to learn on. Once again could not give to all as it all is paid for by me so there is limited funds so it pays to have a great story or convince me to give you one... that's a part of DC right... social engineering!!
