Workshop: First steps with KiCad // 14.02.2026

By Mario Voigt, 29 January, 2026

KiCad is an open source program for the design of electronic circuits. The collection of current schedules, PCB layouts and production of production and CAD data now also allows demanding electronic projects. In this four-hour pacifier course we get an overview of the basic functions and go first steps of an electronic draft with this program. We are trying to implement a first small LED project. Your course manager: Steffen Seeger vom Stadtfabrikanten e.V.

Where and when?
