Learn diode basics.... the fundamental PN junction semiconductor.

 

This is the first is a series of Electronic Basics from MakeHaven with Factilitator Rich. In this session, learn how to build a simple AM radio with just two parts, two solder connections, can fit in an empty Ball Point Pen. Batteries not necessary. Antenna  and ground connection is required. It helps to be near an AM radio station... you can experiment. Hear voices and music from a tiny piece of a germanium crystal. The radio can be improved later, step by step. Just two parts, both are crystals. Maybe you too will discover the Magical Enchantment of Electronics....

 

No experience necessary!

 

This will be a presentation, with questions and answers. Rich will show you where you can get the parts and how to get started and how to do it.
