Have you ever wanted to learn how to control Ardunio, weave conductive thread, create a GPS tagging device, or print on Fab@Home? If the answer is yes, then you might be interested in The Hacktory.

Tucked away on a side street just north of Philadelphia's city hall, The Hacktory is a non-profit community work space with a group of hackers, tweekers, and geekers on a mission to spread the use of technology in art. They offer a variety of courses, shared equipment, material exchanges, and events that make it easy for anyone to start tinkering.

See images from this weekend's most popular course, How to Create Interactive Installations with Micro-controllers, after the jump.
