Why don't you give a workshop? Either on its own (at Noisebridge and/or Sudo Room),
or as part of Circuit Hacking Monday?

Subject: LeOlympia surfacemount kits
i still have 20 LeOlympia kits with Noisebridge Red circuitboards with the
noisebridge logo!
they are surfacemount Arduino Leonardo clones. I also have solder paste
stencils and solder paste so we can build them hot-plate style in a class.
the leonardo / leolympia is cool because its a real USB device, so it can
pretend to be a serial port, or a keyboard or mouse or disk drive or
whatever!
