			'''The OHMC is located in room 210 (second floor) of the Electrical and Computer Engineering building immediately north of the Centre Lecture Theatres (registration). Unfortunately, you can't head due north because of construction works. On of the volunteers may have left directions in chalk on the road / pavement. From registration head out the main door and walk due east along the road and follow it as it curves to the left. That will get you past the construction works. The entrance to the E&CE building is half-way along the south side.

	The concept of Free / Open Source Software, already well understood by LCA attendees, is complemented by a rapidly growing community focused around Open Hardware and "maker culture". One of the drivers of the popularity of the Open Hardware community is easy access to cheap devices such as Arduino, which is a microcontroller development board originally intended for classroom use but now a popular building block in all sorts of weird and wonderful hobbyist and professional projects.

	The day will run in two distinct halves. The first part of the day will be a hands-on assembly session where participants will have the chance to assemble a special hardware project developed for the miniconf. For 2019, the project will be a self-driving car that uses machine learning to process video and direct the car around a track. Based on the popular "[http://www.donkeycar.com Donkey Car]" project, it will give you the opportunity to assemble the hardware and then experiment with the software.
