Hey all! I'm Joe Scotto, many of you probably know me as ["The Handwiring Guy" from YouTube](https://youtube.com/joe_scotto) where I make free videos about handwiring, keyboard design, PCBs, etc.

Lately I've started running paid live Discord workshops where I teach this stuff in a more structured way to small groups of people. The first one was for complete beginners with a handwired 3x3 macropad build, the next was PCB design, and this latest one is all about building an entire handwired keyboard!

Over 3 sessions about 1 to 2 hours long each, I'll walk you through every step of the build. We'll start with installing the switches and wiring the columns, move on to the rows with diodes in session 2, and finally finish it up by soldering the controller and flashing firmware in session 3. By the end of the workshop you'll have a full handwired keyboard you built yourself completely from scratch!

To make things easier, there's an optional **parts kit that includes everything you'll need** to build the keyboard except the tools, including the 3D printed case and keycaps, electronics, switches, wire, heat shrink, and even pre-cut solid copper wire. The workshop is **$150** if you bring your own parts or **$200** with the complete parts kit.

**Registration closes on August 9th** so I have enough time to ship the parts to everyone before the workshop begins. The last two workshops filled up pretty quickly, so if you're interested I would recommend signing up sooner rather than later as there are only 12 spots available.
