# Open Source project to get familiar with the basics of soldering, electronics and programming.

This compact 4cm*4cm PCB, powered by a coin cell and driven by an ATtiny13A microcontroller, is designed to make learning electronics engaging and accessible. With a single blinking LED, clearly labeled components, and Arduino IDE compatibility via programming headers, it offers a hands-on introduction to soldering, microcontrollers, and embedded programming. Originally developed for university workshops, its minimalist design and modular approach make it perfect for classrooms, makerspaces, and self-guided learners alike. At a low cost of around 1.5€ per unit, it's affordable enough for every participant to take home, encouraging continued exploration and tinkering beyond the workshop.

There is a punctuation error. A colon should not be used before "Encouraging". The sentence should either end with a period after "take home" or continue with a comma instead of a colon. Based on the sentence structure, it should likely be a period followed by "Encouraging" as the start of a new sentence.
