Hello,

     Update on these two class opportunities.  I have posted the class info
on the Makers' wikipage<https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/Classes#Current_Classes>.
 All info on the course is written therein.
     Also, the Engineers Without Borders Wilderness Engineering (aka
Appropriate Technologies) class has been postposed to the September-October
timeframe.  I will inform you later as to the exact date.
