I have a broad tech background in electronics and custom hardware design and have been tossing this idea back and forth. What could I help teach leftists who want to learn electronics? There are a lot of subjects such as cyber security, RF scanning and monitoring, reverse engineering and so on that would make for a great beginner course for lefties who don't know where to start. What would you want to learn?

    Great point and definitely feeds into the self sufficiency model within your local community. I could also do like what tools are important/key, portable lab ideas, etc.

      Definitely. Also might be useful to go over how to properly secure your data, browse and communicate privately, etc

      Might not fit in EE topics though, but definitely worth people knowing.

        EE is part of the greater Technology umbrella and definitely deserves it's own entire section. I would love to make like a "Leftist Tech wiki" with all of this in it with lessons, etc.

          We should bug the mods to introduce post flairs so we can tag a c/Technology post EE or CS etc

          And wikis (and hopefully secure file hosting) should be the next step for this community
