WELCOME TO ELECTRONIC MAKER WORKSHOP
(LEVEL 1)

Participants will kick off their 3 days learning journey with identifying common electronic components & basic soldering. This will then be followed by PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design, covering both designing schematics as well as PCB layout. We will be touching on embedded software development which will pair up nicely with the unique hardware created during the workshop and allow each participant to bring home not only a wealth of knowledge but a working piece of useful practical home appliances.

The First half (BEGINNER) of the workshop will focus on navigating through the popular Eagle© PCB software design tool. So as to allow our soon-to-be maker to better appreciate the PCB as well as its fabrication method, we took the extra steps and structured our workshop to guide participants in making a piece of working electronic PCB manually from scratch! (Dealing with chemicals & drilling)

In the Second half (ADVANCED) of the workshop, we will be looking into reusing Open-Source Hardware design where most of our attention will be spent on the Arduino© project. By the end of the class, participants will be constructing a fully customized Powered-up Arduino© UNO board with numerous additional peripherals.

The final PCB design in this workshop will be individually inspected and verified by an experienced in house engineer before being submitted to our fabricating partner. Let me emphasize that the final PCB will be manufactured at the same level found in most industrial grade product, thus it is of the highest quality.

Electronics experience is helpful but not required - all are welcome!

The Best in MALAYSIA

It is a self-proclaimed statement! But rest assured that all TomatoCube Workshops has been carefully curated & planned to be informative while remaining fun & practical. In the end, our basic goal is to inspire & also aim to be the best in what your money could buy!

Experience Instructor

Apart from years of working as a technical consultant, our instructor has years of experience conducting technical training targetting both graduate students as well as working adult engineers.
But to properly teach our unique type of maker-oriented workshop our instructor is someone who has always lived his life as a living embodiment of a Maker/Hacker.

Comprehensive Guidance

It goes without saying, all our workshops are designed to inspire rather than intimidate. Thus the workshops will involve more fun, engaging, practical hands-on than boring theory.
We will only talk about theory when it is absolutely necessary, and they will be capped at "Just-enough".

Happy Maker

What is there not to like about coming for our workshop! Unlike workshops run by other institutions, we do not recycle internet materials but create unique materials & project hardware to give you the best learning experience.
By adopting learning by doing, you will be bringing home lots of creations by the end of the workshop!

STUFF YOU WILL BE MAKING

Our workshop focus on practicality & we assume no prior knowledge or experience.

OUR WORKSHOP PACKAGES

Our guided workshop is designed to be easy to digest, where learning is done through working hands-on example. The workshop aims to be both engaging & Inspiring for participants of various age & background.
Acceptable age ranges from Adult down to Children above the age of 13.

To caters the need for flexible pace & timing, participants could choose to enroll in parts of the workshop separately. But to achieve the best experience/outcome from the workshop, it is highly recommended to enroll for the full workshop and go with the flow.

TOMATOCUBE STORIES

More often than not. Our customers are not seeking for the most ideal solution to their problem, but just a mean to solve their problem quickly. Therefore the solution we offer our customers could be underwhelmingly simple.
In other words, they just want a hammer.

It makes no difference whether you are putting a nail or a screw into the wall; This workshop aims to be a hammer. It is meant for participants who just want to get in & learn to get something done!

Percy Chen Founder TomatoCube

Part of the journey of TomatoCube started when we ran a one-day charitable electronics workshop for the kids from various local orphanages. We witness firsthand the happiness & joy the kids experience after completing a working project, but the true potential of inspiring the children is yet to be seen. It could potentially offer them a chance to escape poverty & the ability to contribute to the modern technological world of tomorrow.

We could do better! One disappointment we faced is not being able to financially support ourselves to run consecutive workshops, therefore TomatoCube is created & pledge % of every earnings into a charitable pool to allow us to reach out more effectively in the near future.

Percy Chen Idealist @TomatoCube

Consider an old mobile phone, it can easily work as one of the most advanced security camera or a high-quality mp3 jukebox. Don’t throw it away, think wisely!

If you can start to repurpose an old electronics that aren’t useful anymore for their intended use, we could say that we have reached the ultimate outcome by the end of the workshop & totally deserve a big pat on the back!

Percy Chen In-House Geek

After conducting technical training workshop for adult engineers for years. I have personally witnessed a drastic drop in the motivation of being an engineer/creator, the passion for continuous learning and experimentation is almost non-existence.

While delivering the message that being a maker/coder/engineer is no longer confined to the realm of the geeks, we shifted our attention to focus on younger children in hopes to inspire & keep the flame burning before it is being extinguished.

TOMATOCUBE WORKSHOP SERIES

This marks the first of many workshops in the pipeline which TomatoCube will be rolling out, and it will also serve as a core pre-requisite for all upcoming Electronics hardware related workshops.

One of the immediate workshops currently in the works which will serve as a smooth continuation of the current workshop would be the Arduboy track, an 8-bit game console reminiscent the good old days of classic Nintendo® Gameboy era. Talk to any of us during the workshop for an early preview.
