Of course, you do remember my blog post about ‘Artduino presents you Arduino’ workshop from this May, do you?! Sure you do. 
Well, the thing I’m announcing here is that we got a space from the organizers of the workshop – The Culture of Change & Student Centre shortly after the workshop successfully ended.
