What this episode covers

Robin Mansukhani, CEO of Alzeca, and Dave Young, principal engineer at Young Circuit Design, discuss their summer engineering program for high school students, Blue Stamp Engineering. They explain how the program teaches perseverance and real-world engineering skills through student-chosen projects like omnidirectional robots and Geiger counters, rather than traditional testing. The founders also share insights on managing a side business while maintaining day jobs, hiring directors to scale operations across four cities, and the importance of diversity in engineering outreach.

    An Interview With Dave Young

    Chris Gammell, founder of Young Circuit Designs and Blue Stamp Engineering, discusses his transition from corporate engineering at Keithley and AudioPack to running a consulting firm and an educational program. He explains how his experience with rigorous air and power budgets at large manufacturers contrasts with the rapid, low-volume prototyping required for startups, often involving manual PCB pickup to save time. Gammell also details the structure of Blue Stamp Engineering, a high school program that teaches students to build, modify, and innovate on electronics projects, emphasizing hands-on learning and troubleshooting over rote instruction.

    Last Chance for PDX Discount

    Aaron Moncur, founder of Pipeline Design & Engineering and host of the Being an Engineer podcast, explains his motivation for launching the Product Development Expo (PDX) in Portland. He highlights the lack of a single venue for physical product engineers to access continuing education, test technologies, and network, positioning PDX as a necessary addition to the industry landscape. Moncur also mentions his volunteer program, CAD Club, which teaches CAD and engineering to middle and high school students, as part of his broader commitment to the engineering community.

    S2E41 The Hacksmith | James Hobson

    James Hobson, founder of Hacksmith Industries, explains how he transitioned from a mechanical engineering student to running a YouTube channel that builds functional prototypes of fictional items like the Iron Man helmet and Tesla Cybertruck. He details the company's growth from a solo hobbyist project to a 23-person team operating out of a 13,000-square-foot facility, highlighting the role of viral hits like the Captain America shield in driving sponsorship revenue. Hobson also discusses the technical challenges of building the Alien Power Loader, the importance of in-house manufacturing tools like fiber lasers, and his philosophy on self-taught engineering.

    #397.7 - Impedance Matching with Jeff Keyzer and Michael Ossmann

    Jeff Keyzer of MightyOhm.com and Michael Ossmann of Great Scott Gadgets join host Chris Gaddis at ToorCamp to discuss their current projects and philosophies on learning electronics. Keyzer details his work supplying Geiger counter kits and his non-electronic hobby of restoring a 1962 Sunbeam Alpine, while Ossmann describes his team's large-scale creme brulee project and the design of a 'Jar of Fireflies' badge to reduce waste. The conversation explores teaching strategies, contrasting the 'start with a working system' approach of Arduino with the reverse-engineering mindset of software hackers, and highlights the upcoming release of the GreatFET hacking tool.
