-**Cost for Members:** $5 per person.\\ +**Materials:** For the class I will supply an Arduino UNO compatible board, a breadboard, wires, and a variety of other parts to useSome of the components we will explore are: potentiometers, photocells, servos, relays, sensors, and actuators. (Please see **Equipment & Software** below for what you will need to supply.)
-**Cost for Non-members:** $10 per person.+
  
-**Materials:** I have a number of Arduino boards, breadboards, sensors, and other parts, but I'll need to determine what I can supply versus what you will need to supply. (I'll work on that.)

 +  * Some people asked if they can "sit in" on the class. Due to the hands-on and very focused nature of the class, I'll be working exclusively with the small group enrolled in the class. If you happen to be in the room during class and listen along, I certainly can't ask you to leave, but I may not be able to engage with you and will request that you do not ask any questions or disturb the class.
