Adult ESP32 + AI — Weekly Evening Cohort | CHIPS by inteRFace R&D

A weekly evening cohort for adults learning hardware and software through the ESP32 microcontroller and AI, run by CHIPS by inteRFace R&D in the Bay Area.
There's no too-early and no too-late to start. Curious adults with zero engineering background, software engineers who never touched a breadboard, makers and parents who want to demystify their kid's project workflow — all welcome. No prior experience required.
What you'll do over the cohort: blink your first LED, wire sensors and read live serial data, use AI tools to generate working ESP32 code and debug it side-by-side with the instructor, then build a small IoT project of your own using ESP32 WiFi + Bluetooth.
Every participant works with a LAFVIN ESP32 starter kit: ESP32 development board, breadboard, LEDs, buttons, jumper wires, USB cable, and a sensor pack with temperature/humidity, motion (PIR), light.
Format: small group capped at 8, instructor-led but discussion-driven, 90 minutes per session, one evening a week. Monthly subscription from $199/mo. Designed and led by Shahaf Baron — CHIPS founder, 15+ years in R&D engineering, creator of ArduinoStudio.com.
STATUS: this cohort is WAITLIST ONLY and is not currently bookable. The night and the venue are both still being decided by an open scheduling poll — never state a day, time or location for it. Adults should go to the poll and pick the night that suits them: chips.interfacernd.com/AdultPoll
