===Lab 64===
===Lab 64===
We work very closely with Lab 64 [https://lab64.stanford.edu/]. Steve Clark, the lab 64 manager, is an important and vital part of our on boarding process this year. Steve, as one of the important pillars of the Stanford EE community, runs many events through lab 64 and you can join the mailing list to hear about them here[https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/packard_lab_064].

===Kits===
===Kits===
We are creating kits to send to people. These kits will contain parts and instructions to create some really cool projects and give you some awesome EE knowledge and experience. Of course, these kits would not be possible without the financial assistance of Steve Clark, the lab 64 lab manager, whose gracious support makes him a vital part of our on boarding process. These kits include a mini weather station, [kit idea], and [kit idea]. If you are interested in getting a kit, please fill out this form here [add link to form].

== Module 0: Safety ==
* We're here to help you! Ask us if you have any questions.
* When working with LEDs, make sure to add a resistor to avoid frying the LEDs.
* When working with the Feather, make sure to ''' never connect any of the ground pins to the 3.3 V pins '''. This could damage the board, and we may be unable to replace the board.
* '''Disconnect the Feather from its battery and micro USB connection when rewiring anything on the breadboard.''' This makes it less likely to accidentally connect the GND and 3.3 V pins and cause a short, which could damage your board.
* '''Always double check how you've wired everything on the breadboard before connecting the Feather to a micro USB cable or to the Feather battery. '''
