Kipp totally kicks butt (and saved mine at Maker Faire). At this last Faire, we unveiled version 2.0 of the Maker Store... Maker Shed, and I had a lot going on: several authors and a dozen independent kit makers doing demos and Q&A, and a workshop area where people could go and build the kits.

I was responsible for these things, and we had an unexpected lack of coverage in the workshop area: we had advertised that people could come and learn how to build the MintyBoost and MiniPOV, neither of which is self-explanatory, and both of which require a lot of soldering. I didn't need to engage in any arm-twisting with Kipp, because he loves this stuff, and spent over an hour working with kids showing them how to assemble these kits. (Long-time Providence Geeks will remember that Kipp and I demoed something similar to the MintyBoost at a Geek Dinner way back when we were still on Wordpress.com). 

Here's a video of Kipp doing his thing.
