This Week:

1.	IEEE Essentials: Lighting Up UCLA
Date:	Tuesday, November 27th
Location:	Boelter Hall 4760

Description:	IEEE Essentials is a series of workshops held throughout the year for members who do not have a whole year to dedicate to UCLA IEEE’s year-long competition projects. This series is dedicated to teaching participants in prototyping and electronics basics through hands-on mini-projects that can be done in a few hours. Want to make something special to commemorate the UCLA vs. USC victory (38-28, Go Bruins!)?. Come to the first IEEE Essentials of this year and make your very own UCLA PCB board, complete with blue LEDs and a yellow background. The PCB board is composed of a string of blue LEDs that spell out UCLA as your turn a knob, lighting up the LEDs one at a time.  A video demonstration can be found here. Due to the limited amount of kits, please come early as kits are distributed on a first come first serve basis.
2.	ATK Information Session*
