[hackerspaces] How To Teach a Hackerspace Class?

[Jerry Isdale]

We charged $10 over price of kits for non-members, $5 over for members.
and flat rate of $30 for walk-ins on day of event, so it was easier to make change.
With taxes and shipping this was basically a break even, using volunteer labor.
