The Scrapyard Challenge Workshops are intensive workshops where participants build simple electronic projects (both digital and analog inputs) out of found or discarded "junk" (old electronics, clothing, furniture, outdated computer equipment, appliances, turntables, monitors, gadgets, etc..). At the end of the day or evening, the workshop participants have a small performance where they demonstrate and present their creations together as a group. No electronics skills or any experience with technology is necessary to participate in the workshops.
